Abstract :
Public key authorization credentials provide a flexible approach to implementing access control in open distributed systems. Wireless sensor networks, are examples of such systems; however, their low-power sensors have energy efficiency requirements that may mean it is not practical to carry out computationally intensive operations, such as public key operations. This paper describes a distributed access control system for a Wireless Sensor Network application that uses computationally efficient one-way hash-functions to implement authorization credentials.
