A generic evaluation method for key management schemes in wireless sensor network
Na Ruan, Yizhi Ren, Yoshiaki Hori, Kouichi Sakurai · 2011
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been widely used in various applications. Since their sensor nodes are resource-constrained, key management is one of the most challenging issues in design of WSN. Currently, various efficient lightweight key management schemes have been proposed to enable encryption and authentication in WSN for different application scenarios. According to different requirements, it is important to select the trustworthy key management schemes in a WSN for setting up a fully trusted WSN mechanism. In this context, adaptive methods are required to evaluate those schemes. In this paper, we exploit Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to help with the complex decision.
