Trusted Third Party Authentication Protocol Development for Clustered Wireless Sensor Networks ()
ABSTRACT
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) need effective security mechanisms
because these networks are deployed in hostel unattended environments. There are many parameters which affect
selecting the security mechanism as its speed and energy consumption. This
paper presents a combined security system for WSN that enhances the security of the
network and it is energy consumption. This system combines three mechanisms,
asymmetric, trusted third party, and pre-distribution. The performance
evaluation demonstrates that the combined protocol can enlarge the life time
for WSNs, and enhance its security. This integrated protocol can provide sufficient
security no matter how many sensors are compromised. Fixed key storage overhead, full network connectivity,
and low communication overhead can also be achieved. Consequently, it enhances the immunity against
different types of attacks. Moreover, this protocol is offered a high level of
security for WSN considering
its limited recourses. So it creates a balance between both security and
constrained resources.
