Yong Lei Song, Shu Guo Cao · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013

According to the existing problems in current key management strategy of wireless sensor networks, which have computation complexity, multi-memory space and inflexible management, this paper proposed a lightweight of cluster-based key management scheme for wireless sensor networks. Implementing the EBS(exclusive basis system) in the cluster heads communication, it could effectively enhance the ability of the resilience. Using Chinese remainder theorem in sensors communication, it will have less storage consumption, Lower communication and computational overhead. Under comparative analysis, it meets the needs of the WSNs key management and provides the better connectivity as well as the resilience compare to other key management schemes.
