Scalable Trust-Based Secure WSNs

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the scalable of wireless sensor networks with trust-based security. In our setting, the nodes have limited capability so that heavy computations are not suitable. So public key cryptographic algorithms are not allowed. We focus on the scalability of the network and proposed new testing algorithms and evaluation algorithms to test new nodes added, which give them reasonable values of trust. Based on these algorithms, we proposed new components for trust management system of wireless sensor networks.
