Abstract

This paper proposes a Cluster Based Dynamic Keying Technique (CBDKT) for authentication in wireless sensor networks. The Cluster Head (CH) determines a Combined Cost Value (CCV) for each sensor node based on node location, node degree and residual battery power. Since the key to the encryption scheme changes dynamically when there is a change in CCV, separate dynamic keys are generated in each cluster by the CH. While the source CH forwards the data to the sink along different clusters, verification of authenticity is done. When the source CH needs to transmit the aggregated data packet to the sink, it splits the packet into shares by threshold secret sharing algorithm and forwards them to the sink using multi-path dispersal routing technique.
