Abstract

Wirelessly networked sensors and actuators are a cornerstone of systems that try to introduce smartness in a wide range of outdoor and indoor environments. The robust and secure operation of such systems is of central importance and will definitely play a key role in terms of their adoption by organizations and individuals. However, the commonly applied security mechanisms based on current standards are either resource consuming, inconvenient to use, or both. In this paper, a generic, lightweight and user-friendly approach to implement secure network management and confidentiality in a Distributed Sensor Networks (DSNs) is proposed.
