Wireless Sensor Networks are being widely deployed for their inimitable characteristics. Besides benefiting through the features of scalability and coverage, these networks are prone to many security threats including Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. There are many aspects of security in sensor networks but our work focuses on key distribution and sharing protocols. We conduct a critical study of different key distribution & sharing protocols and analyze them for the possibilities of DoS attacks. We also propose Identifier Based Key Distribution Protocol that provides the solution for varied Battery Exhaustion Attacks in these protocols.
