Key Exchange in 802.15.4 Networks and Its Performance Implications

چکیده
Abstract. The IEEE 802.15.4 specification is a recent low data rate wireless personal area network standard. While basic security services are provided for, there is a lack of more advanced techniques which are indispensable in modern personal area network applications. In addition, performance implications of those services are not known. In this paper, we describe a secure data exchange protocol based on the Zigbee specification and built on top of 802.15.4 link layer. This protocol includes a key exchange mechanism. Then, we evaluate the overhead of this scheme under different application scenarios. Initial results show the range of network and traffic parameters wherein the proposed scheme is feasible to use.

Performance implications of periodic key exchanges and packet integrity overhead in an 802.15.4 beacon enabled cluster
In this paper, we describe and evaluate a secure data exchange protocol based on the Zigbee specification and built on top of 802.15.4 beacon enabled link layer. This protocol includes a key exchange mechanism and addition of Message Authenication Code to each packet. We have simulated key exchange protocol over physical and data link layers in IEEE 802.15.4 beacon enabled cluster. Since key di...
متن کاملImpact of Reliable and Secure Sensing on Cluster Lifetime in Ieee 802.15.4 Networks
In order to penetrate the market with cost-effective solutions for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) we need standardized low cost, low power, and short-range communication [low rate wireless personal area network (LR-WPAN)] AU1 technology.

متن کاملAn Energy Efficient Clustering Method using Bat Algorithm and Mobile Sink in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes with limited energy. Energy efficiency is an important issue in WSNs as the sensor nodes are deployed in rugged and non-care areas and consume a lot of energy to send data to the central station or sink if they want to communicate directly with the sink. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is employed as a low-power, low-cost, and low rat...

In this Chapter, we analyze performance of the 802.15.4 cluster in beacon enabled mode under the presence of key exchange protocol. We assume that all nodes are applying power management technique based on the constant event sensing reliability required by the coordinator. Power management generates random sleep times by every node which in average fairly distributes the sensing load among the ...
