ABSTRACT
This paper presents an encryption
scheme suitable for direct diffusion protocols. We have calculated
computational and communication overheads in terms of energy consumption using
Directed Diffusion protocol. Public-key cryptography has been observed to
suffer from high computational complexity and overhead. The symmetric-key
schemes can be utilized more efficiently in order to provide more security. The
proposed scheme overcomes the limitations of public-key and symmetric-key
protocols for wireless sensor networks in respect of low energy consumption.
The symmetric-key function is used to guarantee secure communications between
the nodes in a network while the public-key function is used to guarantee a
secure data delivery between the sources to sink. This scheme provides mix of
symmetric-key and public-key cryptography functions using the pre-distributed
keys to implement data confidentiality service and Special attention for data
authenticity.
