Abstract

Wireless sensor network plays a major role in collecting data in different fields. To achieve authentication, confidentiality of data and to transmit over the network, cryptography is needed. The paper proposes a new model known as hybrid encryption technique (HET) which discusses the attainment of data security in sensor network using single-key and two-key encryption algorithms. The proposed method uses the advance encryption standard for encrypting the data using the key which is encrypted using elliptic curve cryptographic algorithm for encrypting the message, and then Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) compression technique is used to compress the data, thus reducing the size of the ciphertext. The proposed algorithm provides high security of data by maintaining security primitive like confidentiality, authentication and integrity. The algorithm has less encryption and decryption time as compared to the existing algorithm.
