A wireless sensor network technology is immensely utilizing in multiple fields, for example; physical environment monitoring, surveillance systems, object tracking systems, robotic systems and many more. Usually, wireless sensor nodes are deployed in remote or hostile environments, and such sensors are vulnerable to compromise different attacks; therefore, a suitable and efficient key management scheme is essential at this point. Recently, different key management approaches are proposed by different researchers to address security challenges, especially for WSNs. Since key management is a core scheme to ensure security for network resources along with solving the problem of key generation, distribution, and secret key management. Hence, in this investigational study have to provide a detailed study on reliable key management techniques which are playing a vital role in large-scale WSNs. This study classifying the key management scheme into Asymmetric based and Symmetric based key management schemes and highlighting their functionalities by evaluating performance parameters. In the beginning, the study defines a workflow of the key management system followed by life cycle. Additionally, have briefly discussing popular key-management algorithmic approaches their applications and limitations. 2The remaining part of the study is structured as; section-II discusses workflow of key management scheme with architecture followed by key management lifecycle. Section-III illustrates about recent research towards different key management schemes. Additionally, different security key management algorithmic approaches are discussing in section-IV. The section-V highlights the open research challenges found from the prior studies as well as conclusion of the study. ABOUT KEY MANAGEMENT SCHEMEA proper key management scheme deals with the key generation, sharing, storage, usage and replacement of cryptographic key in a security system. In every cryptographic system, a proper key management scheme contains effective cryptography for security. Therefore, in this section have to discuss the detail flow process of key management scheme with architecture is shown in the figure-1. Also knows about how data encryption will perform over the network.

“…The asymmetrical type, uses different keys for encryption and decryption that are linked mathematically, while the symmetric type uses the same keys in all the devices for encryption and decryption. Keys are then essential in any cryptographic algorithm and consequently, key management is a fundamental part of any security approach [7].…”

Wireless Sensor Networks present the challenge of including robust security mechanisms in resource-constrained and low-power devices. Cryptography is at the heart of security and key management is a fundamental part of it. Adequate analysis and selection of efficient cryptographic algorithms and key management schemes are required.This paper presents a key management implementation using an FPGA device. Detailed description on the implementation of a symmetric scheme is presented to analyze the influence in computing power and power consumption by using this type of device.

Abstract. In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), clustering is the suitable topology to save the energy of sensor nodes. In this paper, we provide a secured cluster formation by proposing a new symmetric key management scheme for hierarchical WSNs. The new scheme is called EAHKM (Energy Aware Hierarchical Key Management in WSNs). EAHKM needs the pre-distribution of only three keys in each sensor node before deployment, and it ensures a secure cluster formation after deployment. EAHKM assures the establishment of a pairwise key between each sensor node and its cluster head, thus the establishment of a broadcast key in each cluster in the network. Simulation results show that EAHKM provides an energy-efficient, flexible and scalable solution to the key management problem in hierarchical WSNs, and it presents a good resilience to node compromising attacks than other hierarchical key management schemes.
