In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), keys could be compromised easily due to its limited hardware protections. A secure group key management scheme is responsible for secure distributing group keys among valid nodes of the group. Based on the key-insulated encryption (KIE), we propose a group key management scheme (KIE-GKMS), which integrates the pair-wise key pre-distribution for WSN. The KIE-GKMS scheme updates group keys dynamically when adding or removing nodes. Moreover, the security analysis proves that the KIE-GKMS scheme not only obtains the semantic security, but also provides the forward and backward security. Finally, the theoretical analysis shows that the KIE-GKMS scheme has constant performance on both communication and storage costs in sensor nodes.展开更多

There are more than one function nodes in the cluster consulting the key generation and other security decision-making. The function nodes are the second-class security center because of the characteristics of the distributed WSNs. Secondly, It is also described that the formation of function nodes and cluster heads under the control of the former, and five kinds of keys, i.e., individual key, pairwise keys, cluster key, management key, and group key. Finally, performance analysis and experiments show that, the protocol is superior in communication and energy consumption. The delay of establishing the cluster key meets the requirements, and a multiple pairwise key which adopts the coordinated security authentication scheme is provided.展开更多

In order to prevent Sybil attacks, a new key distribution scheme for wireless sensor networks is presented. In this scheme, the key inforrmtion and node ID are associated, and then the attacker is dif-ficult to forge identity ID and the key inforrmtion corresponding to ID can not be forged. This scheme can use low-power to resist the Syhil attack and give full play to the resource advantages of the cluster head. The computing, storage and corrn^ni- cation is rminly undertaken by the cluster head o- verhead to achieve the lowest energy consumption and resist against nodes capture attack. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that com- pared with the traditional scheme presented in Ref. [14], the capture rate of general nodes of cluster re-duces 40%, and the capture rate of cluster heads reduces 50%. So the scheme presented in this pa-per can improve resilience against nodes capture at- tack and reduce node power consumption.展开更多
