A survey of various key management schemes in WSNs is provided and an extensive study to categorize available key management techniques and analyze the possible network security on them is made.
Abstract
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of number of distributed autonomous sensors spatially, that has many applications. These are often used in potentially adverse as well as in hostile environment. Hence security is an important factor during communication. There are three critical issues for wireless sensor networks such as network lifetime, saving energy and security. A sensor node has limited battery power so need effective key distribution and management mechanism for secure communication. Enormous key distribution and management mechanism have been proposed in research literatures. Here, we provide a survey of various key management schemes in WSNs and made an extensive study to categorize available key management techniques and analyze the possible network security on them.

A survey of key management schemes in wireless sensor networks

TL;DR: This paper provides a survey of key management schemes in wireless sensor networks and notices that no key distribution technique is ideal to all the scenarios where sensor networks are used; therefore the techniques employed must depend upon the requirements of target applications and resources of each individual sensor network.
