چکیده

In this paper, we review three problematic key management (KM) schemes recently proposed, including Kayam’s scheme for groups with hierarchy [10], Piao’s group KM scheme [14], Purushothama’s group KM schemes [17]. We point out the problems in each scheme. Kayam’s scheme is not secure to collusion attack. Piao’s group KM scheme is not secure. The hard problem it bases is not really hard. Purushothama’s scheme has a redundant design that costs lots of resources and doesn’t give an advantage to the security level and dynamic efficiency of it. We also briefly analyze the underlying reasons why these problem emerge.

Random Key Pre-Distribution Techniques against Sybil Attacks

Sybil attacks pose a serious threat for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) security. They can create problems in routing, voting schemes, decision making, distributed storage and sensor re-programming. In a Sybil attack, the attacker masquerades as multiple sensor identities that are actually controlled by one or a few existing attacker nodes. Sybil identities are fabricated out of stolen keys, obt...

An efficient symmetric polynomial-based key establishment protocol for wireless sensor networks

An essential requirement for providing secure services in wireless sensor networks is the ability to establish pairwise keys among sensors. Due to resource constraints on the sensors, the key establishment scheme should not create significant overhead. To date, several key establishment schemes have been proposed. Some of these have appropriate connectivity and resistance against key exposure, ...
