Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are usually deployed in complicated environments, for the broadcasting features of WSN, they have high requirements for the security of the network. Encrypting message is the most effective way against attacker to obtain transmitted message. This paper proposes a local dynamic scheme based on layer-cluster topological architecture to accomplish the key management progress in WSN. The scheme saves more energy by reducing negotiation progress under the conditions to protect the security of the network. In this scheme, the sensor nodes form certain cluster by its position, and elect head-cluster nodes by self-election algorithm. After network deployment, gateway node completes most of the calculation in the process of key agreement according to Chinese Remainder Theorem, and the head-cluster nodes calculate group key according to one way hash tree. The scheme can better adapt to dynamic change of the network, which has good flexibility and extensibility.
