The importance of key management protocol in ensuring secure communications in WSN is undeniable. This paper presents an IBE-Trust security framework utilizing the well-known identity based encryption scheme not to only establish secure communications but to ensure the trustworthiness of the communication between sensor nodes and base station. The framework incorporates ideas from Trusted Compu...

EFFICIENT AND SECURE SYSTEM DESIGN IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

The drive for improved power system efficiency, stability and flexibility has served as a catalyst for Smart Grid research and development, so the communications networks in Smart Grid must facilitate the wide-scale utilization of various communications systems, enable the interoperability among various communications protocols, and provide secure and reliable communications for the smart grid....

In intelligent transportation systems (ITS), communications between vehicles, i.e. vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) are of greatest importance to facilitate autonomous driving. The current state-of-the-art for secure data exchange in V2V relies on public-key cryptography (PKC) consuming significant computational and energy resources the encryption/decryption process large bandwidth key distribution. To...
