(t, n) Secret Sharing Scheme Based on Cylinder Model in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Since the existence of characteristics of heterogeneity, limited energy, complexity and so forth, it turns into a research hot spot on the security mechanism of wireless sensor networks (WSN), especially the problems on the key management. On regard of the deficiency of extant secret sharing schemes, we develop a (<em>t</em>, <em>n</em>) threshold secret sharing scheme which is based on the cylinder model, including the procedures of master-key reconfiguration and sub-key updating. This scheme enables several nodes to be responsible for the security of key together, and by the mean time, we introduce a monitoring mechanism to improve the capability of anti-capturing. With the security theoretical analysis and the comparison with the performance on B-PCGR, GKD simulation experiment, it reveals that our scheme satisfies the security requirement of key management in wireless sensor networks, and can effectively reduce the cost on communication and computation

Energy-balanced Time Synchronization Algorithm Based on Flooding for Multi-hop Wireless Sensor Networks

“…The FTSP this paper mentioned (Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol) is proposed by Branislav Kusy of Vanderbilt University firstly [24]. FTSP method realizes time synchronization between sender and receiver by single broadcast message [25][26][27][28]. In considering several requirements in practical application, this paper improved the method, and realizes the time synchronization requirements of multi-hop network nodes.…”

“…Next, the probability of 1 E and 2 E are analyzed. For two communicating entities of source node and destination node, OHS's number of neighbors obeys the binomial distribution.…”

Research on Application of Hierarchical Trust Mechanism in Internet of Things

“…In the network system, in addition to the benign nodes, there may also exists some malicious nodes and selfish nodes, who try to interfere with the normal operation of the network [1,2]. In order to obtain the reliable communication services and enhance the security of the system, researches of the subjective trust have been conducted in many areas, such as e-commerce, P2P network, etc., [3].…”
