An efficient authentication planning for XOR network coding is proposed in this paper, which is based on the network lifetime. The lifetime of a network is defined as the number of communication until the first node failure due to energy depletion. The planning aims at balancing the energy consumption of nodes and extending the network lifetime by dynamic adjusting the processing of nodes. Unlike traditional network coding authentication planning, the planning considers the network lifetime as performance index, not the overall energy consumption of network. Experimental results show that the planning can improve the network lifetime when compared with the existing one.
