Abstract

For applying sensor networking technology for our daily life, security service is essential, and pairwise key establishment is the key point for security. In this paper, we propose pairwise key establishment mechanism for secure communication in sensor networks. In the mechanism, we cluster the network field before deployment and predistribute key materials to normal sensor nodes and clusterheads. For clusterheads, more key materials are predistributed, and after deployment, sensor nodes which need to establish pairwise keys with other sensor nodes in different clusters make request for related key materials to their own clusterheads. Our proposal reduces the memory requirements for normal sensor nodes by distributing more information to clusterheads, and it raises the security level and resilience against node captures. In addition, it guarantees perfect pairwise key establishments for every pair of neighboring nodes and provides efficient and secure sensor communications.
