چکیده

A new conference key distribution scheme is proposed in this study for access control in a hierarchy. A group of users with a different security class can generate a common secret key over a public channel so that a secure electronic conference can be held. The security classes form a hierarchy such that users in a higher security class can obtain a secret session key with users in the same or lower security classes. However, the opposite situation is not permitted.

Hybrid Key pre-distribution scheme for wireless sensor network based on combinatorial design

Key distribution is an important problem in wireless sensor networks where sensor nodesare randomly scattered in adversarial environments.Due to the random deployment of sensors, a list of keys must be pre-distributed to each sensor node before deployment. To establish a secure communication, two nodes must share common key from their key-rings. Otherwise, they can find a key- path in which ens...

LPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring

Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...

Energy-Aware Secure Multicast Communication In Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

In this paper we address the problem of efficiently securing multicast communication in energy constrained wireless ad hoc networks. We show that existing scalable key distribution techniques that rely on logical hierarchies, are energy inefficient. We show that great energy savings can occur when physical location information is considered in the key distribution scheme construction. We also s...

A Deterministic Multiple Key Space Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks via Combinatorial Designs

The establishing of a pairwise key between two nodes for encryption in a wireless sensor network is a challenging issue. To do this, we propose a new deterministic key pre-distribution scheme which has modified the multiple key space scheme (MKSS). In the MKSS, the authors define two random parameters to make better resilience than existing schemes. Instead of a random selection of these parame...

Establishment of conference keys in heterogeneous networks

In order to secure communication amongst members of a conference, a secret shared by all group members must be established. The Diffie-Hellman problem is often the basis for generating keys in two-party communication, and can also be used to establish conference keys. In heterogeneous networks, many conferences have participants of varying computational power and resources. Most conference keyi...
