Low-Cost Secret-Sharing in Sensor Networks

Résumé

Radio waves are the medium used by sensors to communicate and exchange data. The unconstrained accessibility to any information carried over this medium is a security issue in many sensor-based applications. Ensuring protected wireless communications is a problem that has received a lot of attention in the context of ad hoc networks. However, due to hardware constraints of sensors along with multi-hop communication, most of these solutions turn out to be useless for sensor networks. This paper provides basic building blocks to establish secure communication by exchanging secret keys between neighbor nodes without any use of cryptography methods allowing an gain in efficiency. This paper also proposes a second algorithm that extends the secret key establishment to nodes that are not direct neighbors. Among the interesting features of the proposed algorithms we can note a low overhead and the absence of initial configuration.
Cet article présente un technique simple qui permet de sécuriser les communications dans un réseau de capteurs. Dans le contexte des réseaux de capteurs, la limitation au niveau des ressources (puissance de calcul, eńergie, communication) fait que l'usage de la cryptographie asymétrique classique n'est pas envisageable. La technique proposée repose sur le paradoxe des anniversaires appliqué au voisinage de chaque capteurs.
