Towards a new paradigm for securing wireless sensor networks

The network model assumed in this paper consists of tiny, energy-constrained, commodity sensors massively deployed alongside with one or more sink nodes that provide the interface to the outside world. The sensors in the network are initially anonymous and unaware of their location. Our main contribution is to propose a new robust and energy-efficient solution for secure operation of wireless sensor networks. The paper motivates a new paradigm where security is based upon using parameterized frequency hopping and cryptographic keys in a unified framework to provide differential security services for wireless sensor networks.
