Description
Network future relies nowadays on producing a low-cost and effective network in less cost. One of the most effective network solutions is the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Security is the main challenge of this kind of networks where the nodes in such network are restricted by the power consumption due to limited power source. The main factor of WSN security is the key management part which consists of creating, distributing, and using the keys in the network lifecycle. Key Pre-distribution technique is approved to work efficiently to support WSN security. One of the drawbacks of this technique is that it is not supporting renewing and refreshing keys to support multi-generations sensors. In this work we present a novel technique to reproduce new keys from old pre-distributed keys in efficient way to save the power.
