Abstract

Symmetric block ciphers are usually used in WSN for security services. This paper puts forward the idea of using advanced modes of operation of symmetric block ciphers to achieve confidentiality and authentication in one cryptographic operation. The modes of operation approved by NIST that is CMAC, CCM, GCM/GMAC are applied here. The benchmarks of these approaches in the terms of efficiency of nodes in WSN are presented.
