Key management is an important security service for protecting wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Among various existing schemes, exclusion basis system (EBS) is a practical solution that can be easily implemented to provide long-term and flexible protection for WSNs. The involved rekeying strategy in EBS can efficiently evict the compromised node and update the key system. However, the relatively small key pool leads to high correlation among the generated key rings. Consequently, it is almost impossible for EBS-based schemes to efficiently defend collusion attack with their rekeying mechanisms. In this paper, we first analyze the impact of collusion attack on WSNs, especially that in the case where the keys of the compromised nodes can form a connected graph. Then, we propose a novel key management scheme based on EBS. The proposed scheme is termed as t-EEBS because it can effectively resist the referred collusion attack formed by t(t > 1) nodes. Furthermore, we assume that the proposed scheme is implemented in hierarchical WSNs. In this case, two layers of t-EEBS administrative keys are used. The upper layer is implemented among the base station and all cluster leaders, while the lower layer involves a t-EEBS for each cluster. The results of performance evaluation show that the proposed scheme has better resistance to collusion attack than other schemes. Therefore, the proposed scheme can provide better security service for WSNs. INTRODUCTIONWireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been used in a wide range of applications, such as transportation [1], healthcare [2], military [3], and environmental monitoring [4]. However, because of the inherent openness of wireless communication and unattended operation, WSNs are prone to various attacks. Therefore, some security mechanisms were proposed for protecting WSNs. For example, [5] proposed a public key infrastructure-enabled security framework for ZigBee sensor network, while [6] proposed a scheme for secure information dissemination in industrial WSNs.Key management is implemented to manage cryptographic keys in the network. According to [7], a typical key management process includes the following functions: key analysis, key assignment, key generation, and key distribution (and redistribution). Moreover, different entities might be used during the implementation of key management, such as key server, base station, and sensor nodes. The performance of key management significantly affects the security and efficiency of the network.Many key management schemes have been proposed for WSNs [8]. Different from other ad hoc networks, where asymmetric keys can be used to achieve key management [9], most key management schemes for WSNs were implemented based on symmetric keys with respect to resources consumption.In [10], a random key pre-distribution scheme was proposed for WSNs. This scheme includes three phases: key pre-distribution, shared-key discovery, and path-key establishment. Prior knowledge is not necessary in this scheme. This scheme is energy efficient. Based on [1...

“…The other security mechanisms such as secure routing, secure localization, authenticity and integrity are built upon the secure key management. Group key [4], [5] is one of the most important key management paradigms for group communication, which is both bandwidthefficient and energy-efficient. Hence, establishing a secure and efficient group key for energy-constrained WSN is an important concern to inhibit an adversary from attacking group communication.…”

Energy efficiency is one of the most essential design considerations because of sensor node's resource constraints in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Group communication is an important technique to reduce WSNs communication overhead. As an imperative group key management, the logical key treebased scheme can reduce the number of rekeying messages to O(logiV) by building a tree of key encryption keys (KEKs). Unfortunately, it can incur heavy overhead for key update whenever the group member changes. In this paper, in order to simultaneously resolve the transmission security and scalability in WSN group communications, we propose a cluster-based secure and scalable group key management scheme, called LRKT, based on logic key tree and route key tree structure. The proposed LRKT scheme divides a WSN into clusters and generates a route key tree according to the route topology of the WSN. In LRKT, the key updates are confined in a cluster, so the cost of the key updates is reduced efficiently, especially for the case of massive membership changes. Furthermore, a lazy update strategy is used to reduce the rekeying cost. The security analysis shows that the proposed LRKT scheme is secure. In addition, performance simulation results also demonstrate its efficiency in terms of low storage and flexibility when membership changes massively.

Machine to machine (M2M) communications, also called machine-type communications (MTC), has widely been utilized in applications such as telemetry, industrial, automation, and SCADA systems. The group-based MTC, especially when MTC devices belong to non-3GPP network, will face new challenge of access authentication. In this paper, we propose a group authentication and key agreement protocol, called EG-AKA, for machine-type communications combining elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) based on EAP framework. Compared with conventional EAP-AKA, our protocol guarantees stronger security and provides better performance. Detailed security analysis has shown that the proposed EG-AKA protocol is secure in terms of user and group identity protection and resistance to several attacks. Furthermore, formal verification implemented in AVISPA proves that the proposed protocol is secure against various malicious attacks. Moreover, performance evaluation demonstrates its efficiency in terms of the signaling overhead, the bandwidth consumption, and the transmission cost.
