“…The method is conductive in reducing messages transferred for negotiation of shared keys and is suitable to negotiate shared keys among more than two biosensor nodes. Reference [25] used a hybrid topology that combines two topologies, star and mesh, to establish shared keys. In the scheme, identities of biosensor nodes are used to authenticate shared keys, and a mechanism of changing cluster heads according to energy is proposed to maximize the lifetime of BSNs.…”

We present two approaches that exploit biometric data to address security problems in the body sensor networks: a new key negotiation scheme based on the fuzzy extractor technology and an improved linear interpolation encryption method. The first approach designs two attack games to give the formal definition of fuzzy negotiation that forms a new key negotiation scheme based on fuzzy extractor technology. According to the definition, we further define a concrete structure of fuzzy negotiation that can enlarge the types of biometric data used to negotiate shared keys between biosensor nodes. The second approach includes a detailed key sampling method that uses shared secrets to generate linear interpolation factors and an improved linear interpolation encryption scheme based on linear equation group. Security analyses show that these two approaches are secure and can resist attacks launched by Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology, which has not received due attention in the existing studies.

“…Provided that it employs an acknowledgment (ACK) mechanism (Djenouri et al, 2011). Wireless Body Sensor Network constraints which show the uselessness of WSN security mechanisms necessitate an original solution to obtain into explanation the performance of the key biometrics so that their use gives a very important impact for the level of security (Mesmoudi et al, 2011). The implementation intervenes finally to test the efficiency of the mechanism in the wireless body sensor networks.…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have appeared as one of the important fields at present due to their low-cost, self-organizing behavior, sensing ability in inconsiderate environments, and their huge application extent. One of the most challenging topics in relay network is security. The existing Network Topology Acquisition (NTA) processes for non transparent mode relay networks are not effective in providing the security features. At the same time, it is critical to provide privacy and validation in order to prevent information from relay networks. In the proposed system, key management is provided for privacy and simultaneously, validation for security measure is offered with relay nodes. Incorporated Network Topological control and Key management (INTK) scheme on the relay network provide the effective routing and security solution. INTK Scheme encompasses the incorporation of security and routing, active security, robust re-keying, low complexity and the multiple intensity of encrypt features in relay networks. Security scheme is designed with consideration of the multi cluster based topology control through a multiple intensity keying. The proposed security scheme has low communication energy due to its multi cluster-key executive. INTK Scheme acquires results on 4.5% improved security level with lesser execution time and communication energy consumption. A variety of numerical parameters are computed using ns2 simulator on existing NTA processes for non transparent mode relay networks and proposed INTK Scheme. INTK is highly realistic because it is intended to incorporate routing layer and security protocol without sacrificing energy.

Wireless sensor networks have recently gained a lot of attention from the scientific community due to their very wide spectrum of applications. In such networks, the sensor nodes have limited resources. These constraints impose many challenges to the design of related protocols. Especially, routing protocols should be energy-efficient for the prolonged network lifetime. The LEACH protocol is the most popular energy-efficient hierarchical clustering protocol for WSNs that was proposed for reducing power consumption. However, LEACH suffers from several drawbacks such as the non uniform distribution of Cluster Head nodes, the possibility of choosing a low energy node as Cluster Head, etc. In this paper, an attempt is made to overcome this shortcoming by introducing a new hierarchical clustering protocol, called SCHP (Static Cluster-based Hierarchical Protocol). The SCHP protocol is based on a static cluster creation and an optimal cluster head selection. Simulation results show that the proposal guarantees better performance than the LEACH Protocol that is considered as the baseline in the literature. We used many metrics, as packet loss rate, end-to-end delay, and energy consumption to evaluate the efficiency of our proposal. We show also that the SCHP protocol can improve the network lifetime.
