Abstract

With the revolution of the Internet technology, smart-sensing applications and the Internet of Things (IoT) are coupled in critical missions. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), for example, present the main enabling technology in IoT architectures and extend the spectrum of their smart applications. However, this technology has limited resources and suffers from several vulnerabilities and security issues. Since the wireless networks used by this technology are deployed in open areas, several challenges are faced by the service provider in terms of privacy and the quality of service. Encryption can be a good solution to preserve confidentiality and privacy, but it raises serious problems concerning time latency and performance. In this paper, we propose agile framework that enables authentication, confidentiality and integrity while collecting the sensed data by using elliptic curve cryptography.
