Wireless sensor data security

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) is a network of sensors deployed in places unsuitable for human beings and where constant monitoring is required. They work with low power, low cost smart devices having limited computing resources. They have a crucial role to play in battle surveillance, border control and infrastructure protection. Keeping in view the precious data they transmit, their security from active or passive attacks is very crucial. We came to know about LOCK model implementing novel Distributed Key Management Exclusion Basis (EBS) System is very efficient in providing with Network Security. Keeping in view the importance of Data Security we preferred to secure WSN data through Public Key Encryption methods like RSA. We also discussed and implemented Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and its advantages over RSA. However our novel Spiral Encryption Technique implemented along with ECC algorithm, has shown how it helped in making the transmitted message more secure and less informative for the eavesdropper.
