Filtering Injected False Data in Wireless Sensor Networks by Using L, F, S Nodes and Key Distribution

Amuthan Mathy.P, Gowri Sankar.U

To achieve security in wireless sensor networks, it is important to be able to encrypt and authenticate messages sent between sensor nodes. Many key agreement schemes used in general networks, such as public-key based schemes, are not suitable for wireless sensor networks due to the limited computational abilities of the sensor nodes. Pre-distribution of secret keys for all pairs of nodes is not viable due to the large amount of memory this requires when the network size is large. In this paper, we provide a framework in which to study the security of key pre-distribution schemes, propose a new key pre-distribution scheme which substantially improves the resilience of the network compared to previous schemes, and give an in-depth analysis of our scheme in terms of network resilience and associated overhead. when the number of compromised nodes is less than the threshold, the probability that communications between any additional nodes are compromised is close to zero. This desirable property lowers the initial payoff of smaller-scale network breaches to an adversary, and makes it necessary for the adversary to attack a large fraction of the network before it can achieve any significant gain.
