Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are wireless networks that include sensor nodes with limited resources. For secure sensor communication, pairwise key establishment between sensor nodes is essential. In this paper, we propose a hypercube-based key predistribution scheme. Compared with existing approaches, our scheme has better network resilience against node capture attack, complete network connectivity and no communication overhead.
