Abstract

The application of network coding has been improving the performance of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Compared with previous, the security performance has been improved. But when faced with security attacks—especially eavesdroppers, the security of the WSN still needs to be improved. A Lightweight Permutation Encryption Coding (LPEC) is proposed in this chapter, which Combines with secure network coding and permutation encryption algorithm. Unlike end-to-end encryption, which encrypts the whole text, LPEC only encrypts the Local Encoding Vector (LEV), and hide it by permutation encryption. The mechanism effectively reduces the encryption complexity, and thwarts global eavesdroppers. At the same time, it improves the security performance for communication between WSN nodes.
