Abstract

Abstract

Security of wireless sensor networks has attracted much attention in recent years and key management is a critical issue of it. EBS-based dynamic key management scheme is a new approach for wireless sensor networks. The major advantages of EBS-based dynamic key management scheme are enhanced network survivability, high dynamic performance and better support for network expansion. But it suffers from the collusion problem, which means it is prone to the coordinated attack of the compromised nodes. In this paper, a special kind of polynomial, the common trivariate polynomial, is presented, which can guarantee that all the nodes having the same polynomial can get the same key. The common trivariate polynomial keys are used in stead of the normal keys in EBS system and a new dynamic key management scheme is designed for clustered wireless sensor networks. Analytical and simulation results show that compared with the former works, the proposed scheme can greatly improve the network resilience to the attack of the compromised nodes and decrease the energy consumption in the process of updating the administration and session keys.
