Abstract

Many real-world scenarios require the effective enforcement of a common bulk of strong security services that nowadays Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) implementations are far from achieving. This paper introduces a new cryptographic primitive which seems very promising to achieve authentication of the nodes involved in a WSN in such usage scenarios. We show the feasibility of this primitive by showing some its remarkable features in the context of radio communications and by comparing its power consumption to those of Public-Key Certificates
