High Effect Secure Data Transmission Mechanisms in Wireless Sensor Networks Using ID-Based Key Management Scheme

This study presents an ID-based key management scheme that exploits an implied public key to address secure data transmissions for reducing required memory capacities and CPU computations in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In the proposed scheme, each sensor node only has to store a secret key for encrypting and aggregating data during transmissions. Furthermore, the system supports direct and aggregate data transmission modes that provide rapid and secure transmission methods without complex decryption and large bandwidth consumption for sensor nodes. This approach is efficient enough to be implemented on large-scale WSNs.
