“…Initially, after the deployment of nodes in the network, nodes with high energy resources, wide communication range and high processing capacity as cluster heads. Cluster keys for cluster heads and pairwise keys for nodes are generated by the sink through EBS [3]. Whenever a node moves from currently connected cluster to another in the network, the mobility based key management scheme is triggered.…”

“…The EBS key set contains the pair wise keys for intra-cluster and inter-cluster communication. The cluster head upon detecting a compromised node in its cluster sends a request to sink to perform re-keying operation [3]. The re-keying process utilizes the hashing function for authentication and nodes are recovered in a secured manner.…”

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) handling mobility of nodes in key management is a challenging task. In this paper, a mobility management technique for keying scheme of WSNs is presented. The technique selects nodes with high energy resources, wide communication range and high processing capacity as cluster heads. Cluster keys for cluster heads and pairwise keys for nodes are generated by the sink through exclusion basis systems. Whenever a node moves from currently connected cluster to another in the network, the mobility based key management scheme is triggered. The sink verifies the authenticity of roaming node and allocates it to a nearby cluster. New pairwise keys are generated and transmitted to the roaming node through newly connected cluster head. Further, a key organization technique is presented to ensure the forward and backward secrecy of nodes. The proposed technique is simulated in NS2 and simulation results show the efficiency of our technique.

“…So, the network will get destructed if a hacker tries to become the cluster head of the cluster. Examples of this type of attack are the selective forwarding and the sinkhole attacks (Abuhelaleh and Elleithy, 2010). …”

“…Also, they proved that their proposed solutions provide protection against various privacy disclosure attacks, such as eavesdropping and hop-by-hop trace back attacks. Abuhelaleh and Elleithy (2010) have proposed a special kind of architecture to the cluster hierarchy of wireless sensor networks. The most interesting protocol that has been proposed for this kind of architecture is LEACH.…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is vulnerable to node capture attacks in which an attacker can capture one or more sensor nodes and reveal all stored security information which enables him to compromise a part of the WSN communications. Due to large number of sensor nodes and lack of information about deployment and hardware capabilities of sensor node, key management in wireless sensor networks has become a complex task. Limited memory resources and energy constraints are the other issues of key management in WSN. Hence an efficient key management scheme is necessary which reduces the impact of node capture attacks and consume less energy. In this study, we develop a cluster based technique for key management in wireless sensor network.

An efficient way of handling security keys using quantum cryptography (QC) for increasing security in radio frequency identification (RFID) networks is being investigated by network security industries. To establish secure RFID network, communication between any two nodes that hold RFID tags and/or readers merged with existing networks should be protected. In order to maximize the data security and secure transmission around RFID network, theoretical model of the quantum key management (KM) system based on RFID is introduced as a proposed research. This model not only manages the secure keys but also it defends passive eavesdropping attacks and other potential attacks. Novelties in this research are security keys of which QC is being utilized in RFID network with continuous key updates. To establish future security around RFID networks, efficient KM protocol and QC, which deal with quantum mathematical procedures and quantum physics, should be analyzed without affecting the legacy. Computational complexities in KM are increasing with the large key sizes, which are manageable through QC. To maximize the security and minimize the complexity in KM, QC with Grover's algorithm is introduced as a method in RFID network environments. So, we have proved that a number of operations with key sizes obtained in KM are reduced. In this proposal, QC will help to reduce the complexity of algorithms used in KM protocols and maximize the security.
