Abstract. Public-key cryptography is a prerequisite for security in distributed systems and for reliable electronic commerce. The protection of public keys against attacks is the A...
Key distribution in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is challenging. Symmetric cryptosystems can perform it efficiently, but they often do not provide a perfect trade-off between ...

Energy is a central concern in the deployment of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we investigate the energy cost of cryptographic protocols, both from a communication and ...
Signcryption is a new paradigm in public key cryptography that simultaneously fulfills both the functions of digital signature and public key encryption in a logically single step,...
An ad-hoc network comprises mobile nodes that cooperate with each other using wireless connections to route both data and control packets within the network. As the low transmissi...
