Abstract

It is an important challenge to find out suitable cryptography for wireless sensor networks due to limitations of energy, computation capability and storage resources. Considering this sensor feature on limitations of resources, a security architecture based-on public key cryptography is proposed. The security architecture is based on identity based cryptosystem, but not requires key handshaking. The analysis shows that the security architecture ensures a good level of security and is very much suitable for the resources constrained trend of wireless sensor network.
