Abstract

The paper designs a key management scheme for wireless sensor network that can resist key attack against the network. The scheme gives full play to the cluster head’s resources such that the head can carry most of the computation, storage and communication overhead by the cluster head, and thereby achieves the minimum energy consumption of the cluster members and anti capture target, and key attack can resist wireless sensor network effectively. Through the simulation of the key management program in the authorization certificate issuance mechanism, and the development of the corresponding changes in the value of the parameters to assess the performance of each mechanism, it comes to the overall performance of the mechanism ultimately and how the value should be set to get the best performance. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional scheme, the proposed model can effectively improve the node’s anti capture ability and reduce the node energy consumption.
