Abstract
Because the traditional public key-based cryptosystems are unsuitable for the sensor node with limited computational and communication capability, a secure communication between two neighbor sensor nodes becomes an important challenging research in sensor network security. Therefore several session key establishment protocols have been proposed for that purpose. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the existing session key establishment protocols based on the criterions of generation strategy and uniqueness of the session key, connectivity, overhead of communication and computation, and vulnerability to attacks. Based on the analysis results, we specify the requirements for the secure and efficient protocols for establishing session keys. Then, we propose an advanced protocol to satisfy the specified requirements and verify the superiority of our protocol over the existing protocols through the detailed analysis.
