A Key Distribution Scheme with Authentication for ZigBee

ZigBee nodes are deficient in identity authentication and key distribution security. For purpose of solving those issues, an identity-based ZigBee identity authentication and key distribution scheme without weil pairing is proposed. This scheme bears the strongpoint of identity-based authentication scheme. The completion of ZigBee key distribution can be simultaneous with identity authentication implementation with high security and extensibility. Experiments show that the proposed scheme has the advantage of limited storage cost, low energy consumption etc..
