A New Self-Healing Key Distribution Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
A self-healing key distribution scheme enables a group of users to establish a group key over an unreliable channel. In such a protocol, a group manager, to distribute a session key to each member of the group, broadcasts packets along the channel. If some packet gets lost, then users are still capable of recovering the group key using the received packets, without requesting additional transmission from the group manager. A user must be member both before and after the session in which a particular key is sent and lost, in order to be recovered through “self-healing”. In this paper we propose a new technique to do self-healing, and we provide a secure and efficient scheme.

A mutual-healing key distribution scheme in wireless sensor networks
How to establish secure session keys is one of the central tasks for wireless sensor network communications. General key distribution schemes for traditional computer networks could not be directly shifted to wireless sensor network environments as broadcast messages may be lost due to sensor network internal factors or external attacks. Self-healing key distribution schemes, therefore, have be...
متن کاملOptimal Self-healing of Smart Distribution Grids Based on Spanning Trees to Improve System Reliability
In this paper, a self-healing approach for smart distribution network is presented based on Graph theory and cut sets. In the proposed Graph theory based approach, the upstream grid and all the existing microgrids are modeled as a common node after fault occurrence. Thereafter, the maneuvering lines which are in the cut sets are selected as the recovery path for alternatives networks by making ...
متن کاملA Self-healing Key Distribution Scheme with Novel Properties
We improve a secret sharing scheme, which enables users select their personal keys by themselves instead of being distributed by group manager and users can reuse their personal keys no matter the shared secret is renewed or recovered. Then we apply it to design a self-healing key distribution scheme. The new scheme achieves good properties. Firstly, the scheme reduces storage overhead of perso...
متن کاملA New Constant Storage Self-healing Key Distribution with Revocation in Wireless Sensor Networks
A self-healing key distribution scheme enables the non-revoked users with the received broadcast messages and their private information to recover the missed group session keys on their own without requiring the group manager to retransmit the missed broadcast messages. In this paper, we construct a new structure to broadcast message to realize the self-healing key distribution. It is shown tha...
متن کاملRevocation and Self Healing of keys in Hierarchical Wireless Sensor Network
In this paper we have discussed a key distribution scheme with revocation and self healing mechanism. Self healing key distribution scheme enables a group of users to establish a group of keys over an unreliable network. In our scheme cluster header distributes session keys to the group nodes for communication. The concept of key distribution scheme with revocation was first mooted by Staddon, ...
