A Paired Key Mechanism for Wireless Link Security for WSNs

  Gagandeep Kaur,  Navjot Kaur

The wireless sensor network has been used in many applications for military, weather, industrial or many other industries. The wireless sensor networks are consisted of the low configuration nodes with limited battery life. The security issues have been raised as one of the major concerns for the sensor networks. The security solution designed for the sensor nodes must be capable of mitigating the attacks with the minimum energy consumption and it should not hurt the performance of the sensor networks at all. In this paper, a quick encryption method with lightweight key management scheme has been proposed for the purpose of security mechanisms of authentication for the sensor networks. The proposed model has been designed to provide the best level security by using the lightweight randomized keys form the 2-column table as the maximum possible energy efficient approach. The proposed model results have been evaluated against the existing models and it has been found effective on the basis of all of all of the obtained parameters. The experimental results have marked the proposed model results as better than the existing model.
