Abstract
Sensor network can be applied in many areas in our life, and security is very important in applying sensor network. For secure sensor communication, pairwise key establishment between sensor nodes is essential. In this paper, we cluster the network field in hexagonal shapes and preassign three different kinds of key information for each sensor according to its expected location. We adopt overlapped key string pool concept for our clustered network architecture and every node uses the part of sub-strings for setting up pairwise keys with all neighboring nodes in its own cluster and from different clusters according to respective position with small amount of information. Our proposal decreases the memory requirement and increases security level efficiently.
