Abstract

The information security of wireless sensor networks is one of the hot issues on the current research; this chapter combines threshold key scheme with the management of security key sharing and group agreement and proposes dynamic key management scheme through clustering level key matrix of authentication mechanism from the cluster to node. The network is divided into different clusters, and the cluster head conducts the key authentication exchange and updates the key management with threshold key schemes, with no need of third authentication center; it reduces computing and communication costs, using the preset public key encrypting the data. The clusters adopt bidirectional authentication to promote communication security.
