Abstract
Wireless sensors are highly resource constrained in terms of memory, power and processing capability. However, critical applications of these networks demand security features to be implemented. Some researchers have approached this problem and provided schemes like TinySec, TinyPK, Localized Encryption and Authentication Protocol (LEAP), Elliptical curve Cryptography (ECC), etc. TinySec is the most successful implementation till now. This research enhances the basic TinySec security by providing an efficient key update mechanism on top of TinySec. The simulation results show that the memory overhead for this scheme is 1.66% and the computational cost is minimal. There is no latency or bandwidth overhead.
