Since the time of their introduction, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been catching the interest of researchers. WSN have a wide range of applications, some even involving sensitive and secret information, thereby raising security concerns. Nevertheless, WSN have some constraints like limited memory, energy and computational capability, which pose an obstacle for the addition of proper security in sensor nodes. This paper introduces a new rekeying design for WSN security framework whose implementation would dispense effective security in the sensor nodes. This proposed security framework is endowed with the capacity to address security issues, such as message integrity, confidentiality, authenticity and freshness based on symmetric key cryptography. In addition, this design does not allow the storage of any key except the initial master key in the sensor nodes prior to network deployment. This paper also investigates reconfigurable sensor nodes in terms of execution time, memory, power consumption, and cost while running the security framework.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
