AWSN/22/Secure Routing in WSN/Sensor Network Encryption Protocol (SNEP)

Secure Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks Routing is one of the most important operations in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as it deals with data delivery to base stations. Routing attacks can cripple it easily and degrade the operation of WSNs significantly. Hence, providing security becomes a challenging task in the networks. Requirements of a Secure Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Security Protocols for Sensor Networks (SPINS) Security protocols for sensor networks (SPINS) consists of a suite of security protocols that are optimized for highly resource-constrained sensor networks. SPINS consists of two main modules: • Sensor Network Encryption Protocol (SNEP) • Micro-version of Timed Efficient Stream Loss-Tolerant Authentication protocol (μTESLA) Sensor Network Encryption Protocol (SNEP) Key Generation /Setup
