WSN comprise of large number of sensor nodes with different hardware abilities and functions. Due to the limited memory resources and energy constraints, complex security algorithms cannot be used in sensor networks. Therefore, it is necessary to well balance between the security level and the associated energy consumption overhead to mitigate the security risks. In this paper, we present A Novel Key Management Scheme for Cluster Based Wireless Sensors Networks (NKMS). The security analysis demonstrates that NKMS is an effective solution to the key management of cluster based wireless sensor networks.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a particular network built from small sensor nodes. These sensor nodes have unique features. That is, it can sense and process data in WSN. WSN has tremendous applications in many fields. Despite the significance of WSN, this kind of network faced several issues. The biggest problems rising in WSN are energy consumption and security. Robust security development is needed to cope with WSN applications. For security purposes in WSN, cryptography techniques are very favorable. However, WSN has resource limitations, which is the main problem in applying any security scheme. Hence, if we are using the cryptography scheme in WSN, we must first guarantee that it must be energy-efficient. Thus, we proposed a secure hybrid session key management scheme for WSN. In this scheme, the major steps of public key cryptography are minimized, and much of the operations are based on symmetric key cryptography. This strategy extensively reduces the energy consumption of WSN and ensures optimum security. The proposed scheme is implemented, and their analysis is performed using different parameters with benchmark schemes. We concluded that the proposed scheme is energy-efficient and outperforms the available benchmark schemes. Furthermore, it provides an effective platform for secure key agreements and management in the WSN environment.

Since current key management schemes are mainly designed for static and planar networks, they are not very suitable for the layer-cluster wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a WSN layer-cluster key management scheme based on quadratic polynomial and Lagrange interpolation polynomial is proposed, in which the main idea of this scheme along the research line of broadcast identity authentication, session key, group key, network key and personal key. Specifically, authentication key can be established on the basis of Fourier series for identity authentication; session key is established by a multiple asymmetric quadratic polynomial, in which session key information is encrypted by the authentication key to ensure the security of intermediate interactive information; based on the former two keys, group key is established on the basis of Lagrange interpolation polynomial, in which the nodes of the cluster are not directly involved; the generation and management of network key is similar to the group key, in which the establishment idea is to regard the BS and all cluster heads as a group; the generation and management of personal key is also similar to the group key, the difference is that the personal key can be obtained by cluster nodes through getting the Lagrange interpolation polynomial coefficients based on their own random key information. It is analyzed that the proposed layer-cluster key management scheme can guarantee the identity of network nodes firstly through forward authentication and reverse authentication, and session key, group key and network key will guarantee the independence of the keys’ management and avoids the problem of single point failure compared with LEAP protocol, and personal key will guarantee the privacy of network.

The resource-constraint nature of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has caused the security one of biggest challenges. An efficient key management scheme is the pre-requisite to ensure security in WSN. In this paper the authors present two versions of a secured key management scheme adopted on cluster-based topology of sensor network. The proposed schemes use partial key pre-distribution and symmetric cryptography techniques, and shows high resilience to different security attacks. Whereas one version of the proposed protocol uses shared partial keys in a cluster, the other version uses private partial keys. Both versions of the proposed key management scheme outperform other random key pre- distribution protocols in the sense that it requires lower space, lower communication overhead and offers very high session key candidates.

Key Management Scheme

The concept of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is that electric vehicles (EVs) communicate with the smart grid to sell demand response services by delivering electricity into the grid. Due to the scale of the network, the speed of the vehicles, their geographic positions, and the very sporadic connectivity between them, V2G communications have the crucial requirements of fast session key establishment. In this paper, we propose a threshold-based privacy-preserving key management scheme for V2G networks, which utilizes the threshold-based secret sharing and symmetric key technique to protect the identities of the EV owners and to establish the shared session key between the aggregator and the vehicle. The proposed scheme can achieve the property of identity privacy, confidentiality of the communications, and known-key security.
