Abstract
A sensor network is a collection of tiny sensor nodes, which consists of sensing, data processing and communicating components. Directed Diffusion is an important data-centric routing protocol of sensor networks. In this paper we present the design of a new secure Directed Diffusion protocol (SDD), which provides a secure extension for the Directed Diffusion protocol. We mainly focus on secure routing and give a simple scheme to securely diffuse data. We have not considered with the in-network aggregation as a goal. In order to support the use of SDD for sensor nodes with extremely limited CPU processing capability, we use an efficient one-way chain and do not use asymmetric cryptographic operations in this protocol. Our security analyses show that SDD is robust against any active attackers or compromised nodes in the network.
