Abstract
The key agreement mechanisms are designed according to different communication links of underwater sensor networks. Combined with the underwater nodes deployment and geographic location information, the key agreement mechanism, which using the elliptic curve point multiplication with lower computational overhead, can support the identity authentication and session key agreements between the nodes on the non-bidirectional links, and resist Sybil attacks, replay attacks, spoofed node attacks, node replication attacks, and so on. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed energy-efficient key agreement mechanism has better security and network performance, especially reducing the energy consumption of low-performance sensor nodes. The underwater sensor networks can achieve high network connectivity, meanwhile guaranteeing that the energy consumption of the cluster-head node and sensor node is less than 20 J and 10 J, respectively.
