Gaith A. Muslim, Ra'ad A. Muhajjar . Key Management for Flat Wireless Sensor Network Security. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 16 ( Jun 2022), 49-53. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022922166
Most applications use wireless sensor networksto collect data, which are considered low-cost solutions to a variety of real-world problems. Numbers of sensor nodes are deployed in a goal environment for carrying out multiple tasks. Providing confidentiality and integrity to the transmitted information through efficient key management assists. Security issues have become a critical challenge in WSNs due to the nature of the channel transport wireless and limited the resource of sensors. In this paper, security schemes have been proposed for securing flat WSNs. The proposed scheme used a lightweight symmetric cryptographic technique that depends on a Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) to establish keys. The suggested method has a high level of security through achieving confidently in data, integrity, authentication, making efficient use of sensor resources, and providing perfect resistance to sensor node capture attacks.
