Summary:An encryption algorithm is the core of network security, but for ZigBee wireless sensor network, the complexity of this algorithm directly affects the cost and energy consumption in MCU hardware storage resources, which results in conflicting between data protection and overhead. In this paper, a contradiction simple elliptic curve cryptosystem is proposed to use for terminal nodes and host computer for data encryption and authentication. The purpose is to save the hardware cost and enhanced data security.
