ECL-EKM An Enhanced Certificateless Effective Key Management Protocol For Dynamic WSN
Abstract:
To solve the key management related problems encountered in symmetric as well as
asymmetric key based schemes, recently a public key based scheme known as
Certificateless Effective Key Management protocol (CL-EKM) has been proposed for
dynamic Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In spite of showing numerous advantages
over the previously proposed schemes, this protocol shows some critical limitations.
One among these is the method of relying on unicast transmission mode to transmit
messages from the Base Station (BS) to all cluster heads in the network. This is
because when the network grows in size or when the number of messages to be
transmitted at a given time is large, this would cause severe negative impact on the
overall performance. Hence, in this paper, we consider the optimization problem of the
protocol and propose a solution which enhances CL-EKM by avoiding intensive use of
encryption and unicast operations that reduces the energy and delay associated with the
communications between the BS and the cluster heads. The performance gains are
depicted in the presented results.
