An ID-Based Random Key Pre-distribution Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

When wireless senor networks (WSNs) are deployed in hostile areas, they indeed need to be secured by security mechanisms. To do this, cryptographic keys must be agreed on by communicating nodes. Unluckily, due to resource constraints, the key agreement problem in wireless sensor networks becomes quite intricate. In this paper, we propose a new ID-based random key pre-distribution scheme that is comparable to Du et al.’s scheme [2] in terms of network resiliency and memory usage. On the other hand, our later analysis shows that our scheme outperforms Du et al.’s scheme in terms of computational and communication overhead.
