H2S: A Secure and Efficient Data Aggregative Retrieval Scheme in Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks

Wei Zhong Ren, Yi Ren, Zhang Hui · 2009

In unattended wireless sensor networks, data are stored locally and retrieved on demand. To efficiently transmit the collectorpsilas retrieval results, data are aggregated along being forwarded. The data confidentiality and integrity should be protected at the intermediate nodes. End-to-end encryption or hop-by-hop encryption based schemes are not efficient. Straightforward homomorphic encryption based scheme is not compromise resilient. To achieve all the desires, we propose a scheme - H2S by making use of both homomorphic secret sharing and homomorphic encryption. The security and efficiency of our scheme are justified by extensive analysis.
