A Locally Group Key Management with Revocation and Self-healing Capability for Sensor Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we present an efficient key management scheme for resource limited sensor networks. Motivated by the fact that group key distribution from remote base station is costly in term of communication, we introduce the scheme of locally group key management scheme with revocation and self-healing capability for sensor network. The idea behind the scheme is use secret sharing to distribute group key and manage group member as well as group header.
