Details
Wireless sensor networks are used in an increasing amount of applications, as they offer complete mobility and cost savings compared to fixed wire applications. But currently, security in wireless systems is limited.
In many applications, the information transmitted by nodes in a sensor network is confidential or is required to be proteced from malicious interference. It is therefore desirable in such circumstances to encrypt the wireless communications. Due to the limited processing capabilities and memory capacity for each node, use of a symmetric encryption algorithm is desirable as it will typically have shorter keys and less computationally intensive operations than a public-key algorithm of comparable security. The simplest implementation would be for all the nodes in a given network to share one symmetric key; however, this leaves the system vulnerable if the one key is discovered by an attacker.
A research team connected to the Tech Trans Office at the University of Stavanger, Norway, has been using innovative mathematical techniques to create a new concept for distributing cryptographic keys for securing wireless sensor networks. This new concept offers increased security and reduced costs compared to existing methods.
A UK patent application was filed in 2007. A license opportunity is offered.
The Norwegian research team is looking for commercial agreement with technical assistance.
Innovative Aspects:
This novel concept for distributing cryptographic keys enables a significantly more secure network without increasing costs per node.
