Summary:It is widely acknowledged that security will play a key role in the successful design and deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSN). A prerequisite for achieving security is the ability to dynamically establish a secret key joint to two nodes. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has emerged as a suitable public key cryptographic foundation for WSN. This poster will present an efficient ECC-based method for self-certified key generation in resource-constrained sensor nodes. In particular, we provide implementation results on the Intel Mote 2 sensor network platform which demonstrate that such key generation can be established in the order of 60 msec while consuming less than 30 mJ.
