Light-weight Key Generation based on Physical Properties of Wireless Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Key management is at the heart of cryptography system designs, enabling and ensuring the overall security of such systems. There are a variety of cryptographic protocols to generate and distribute keying material, and in many applications these well-researched solutions offer good performance and security. However, when considering low-cost and low-performance devices such as wireless sensor motes used for distributed monitoring of the environment, common protocols can introduce too large computational burdens or implementation complexity.

Optimal SVD-based Precoding for Secret Key Extraction from Correlated OFDM Sub-Channels
Secret key extraction is a crucial issue in physical layer security and a less complex and, at the same time, a more robust scheme for the next generation of 5G and beyond. Unlike previous works on this topic, in which Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) sub-channels were considered to be independent, the effect of correlation between sub-channels on the secret key rate is address...
متن کاملDesign of a Low-Latency Router Based on Virtual Output Queuing and Bypass Channels for Wireless Network-on-Chip
Wireless network-on-chip (WiNoC) is considered as a novel approach for designing future multi-core systems. In WiNoCs, wireless routers (WRs) utilize high-bandwidth wireless links to reduce the transmission delay between the long distance nodes. When the network traffic loads increase, a large number of packets will be sent into the wired and wireless links and can...
متن کاملHybrid 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...
متن کاملAn RC4 based Light Weight Secure Protocol for Sensor Networks
As sensor networks edge closer toward wide-spread deployment, security issues become a central concern. So far, the main research focus has been on making sensor networks feasible and useful, and less emphasis was placed on security. In this paper we present a new light weight secure protocol based on RC4 stream cipher. In addition, we construct an RC4 based one-way hash function, which can be ...
متن کاملA survey on secret key generation mechanisms on the physical layer in wireless networks
Traditional security mechanisms are mainly based on the distribution of shared secret keys. Yet, this task is non trivial in large wireless networks, due to mobility and scalability issues. Recently, it has been found that some properties of the physical layer of wireless communications can be leveraged for the purpose of secret key generation. In particular, the wireless channel has been inves...
