Survey of Key Distribution Schemes for Wireless Sensor Networks
This is an incremental survey for researchers in wireless sensor network security.
This paper surveys key distribution schemes for wireless sensor networks, including a new piggy bank method where part of the key is pre-distributed and the remainder varies in application.
This paper presents a survey of key distribution schemes for wireless sensor networks. This survey includes the new approach of key distribution using the piggy bank method. Different Network architectures and different key pre-distribution schemes are described. The survey includes the use of the piggy bank approach to cryptography in which part of the key is pre-distributed and the remainder is varied in the application.
