Wireless sensor networks consist of sensor nodes with limited amount of resources and deployed in hostile or remote environment and unattended by human, they are prone to different kind of attacks. So security is a major concern in WSN and communication between nodes must be secure that important data do not compromised. For the same adaptation of dynamic key is very important for secure key management while encrypting data. Many techniques has been proposed regarding dynamic key management but because of the limitations of WSN like limited memory, battery life and processing power, increases the use of cluster-based wireless sensor network which reduces system end-to-end delay and energy consumption. In this work we have carried of the comparative study of different dynamic key management schemes based on cluster-based sensor networks and finally summarized on the bases of different evaluation metrics with pros and cons of each scheme.

Keywords- Wireless sensor networks, Security, Key management.
