A New Security Bootstrap Scheme for Large Scale Wireless Sensor Networks
Zhang Li · Journal of Beijing Electronic Science and Technology Institute · 2006
Considering the limitation and deficiency of security bootstrap on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), a new security bootstrap scheme for WSN is proposed. The new scheme exploits the clustering algorithm of WSN deployment and the merit of random key pre-distribution. The new scheme can reasonably use the limited resources and reduce the length of key ring of single node in wireless sensor network; it also can save the energy of nodes and prolong the lifecycle of WSN. This paper describes the architecture and the security bootstrap of the new scheme, and analyzes the performance of the scheme.
