Safe Data Transfer Using Logic Gate Based Cryptographic Technique in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks consist of independent sensor nodes attached to one base station. In wireless sensor networks, nodes are connected to sensing environment and communicate the data to the base station. As WSNs continues to grow, they become vulnerable to attacks and hence the need for operative security techniques. Applications of wireless sensor networks demands for the well-organized and secure communication. For the solution of well-organized and reliable security, we need cryptography algorithms which provide good solutions. For providing reliable security techniques mainly data confidentiality, key management is used. Identification of suitable cryptographic techniques for WSNs is an important challenge due to limitation of energy, computation capability and memory of the sensor nodes. Symmetric cryptography techniques do not act well when the number of sensor nodes increases. Hence asymmetric key cryptographic techniques are widely used. Here we propose an electronic logic gate based symmetric Cryptographic technique which is more suitable for small and medium WSNs.
