Key establishment scheme for wireless sensor networks based on polynomial and random key predistribution scheme

Abstract Establishing communication keys for pairs of neighbouring sensor nodes is the foundation of the security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, due to the resource constraints on nodes, this task is challenging for the constrained memory, energy, and computational capabilities of sensor nodes. This paper proposes a novel key predistribution scheme based on the polynomial pool-based key predistribution scheme and random key predistribution. In the proposed scheme, parts of the preloaded information in each sensor node are the polynomial shares and the rest of the preloaded information are the keys generated by the polynomial shares preloaded in the sensor nodes. Performance analyses and comparisons with other schemes are performed in this paper. The comparison of security results confirm that the proposed scheme has better resilience against node compromising attacks when compared to previous schemes.
