Energy awareness is an essential design flaw in wireless sensor network. Clustering is the most highly regarded energy-efficient technique that offers various benefits such as energy efficiency and network lifetime. Clusters create hierarchical WSNs that introduce the efficient use of limited sensor node resources and thus enhance the life of the network. The goal of this paper is to provide an analysis of the various energy efficient clustering algorithms. Analysis is based on the energy efficiency and network lifetime. This review paper provides an analysis of different energy-efficient clustering algorithms for WSNs.

This paper proposes a new scheme to provide the location privacy of sources in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Because the geographical location of a source sensor reveals contextual information on an 'event' in WSN, anonymizing the source location is an important issue. Despite abundant research efforts, however, about data confidentiality and authentication in WSN, privacy issues have not been researched well so far. Moreover, many schemes providing the anonymity of communication parties in Internet and Ad-hoc networks are not appropriate for WSN environments where sensors are very resource limited and messages are forwarded in a hop-by-hop manner through wireless channel. In this paper, we first categorize the type of eavesdroppers for WSN as Global Eavesdropper and Compromising Eavesdropper. Then we propose a novel scheme which provides the anonymity of a source according to the types of eavesdroppers. Furthermore, we analyze the degree of anonymity of WSN using the entropy-based modeling method. As a result, we show that the proposed scheme improves the degree of anonymity compared to a method without any provision of anonymity and also show that the transmission range plays a key role to hide the location of source sensors.

This paper deals with essentially secure group management and key transfer methods in a wireless sensor network environment. To provide an efficient security service to a widespread network with a large number of sensor nodes, the network has to be made up by several security groups, and Group Key distribution and group management are needed. In this paper we propose a mechanism for efficiently constructing and managing a security node by constructing a group using an algorithm to construct a logical group. Previous Group Key Transport method has special condition. When Base Station transports Group Key, all sensor nodes must share Secret Key with Base Station before it is intended to be deployed. Hence, we also propose a Key transport mechanism without sharing Secret Key between Base Station and sensor node.

With the development of sensor, wireless mobile communication, embedded system and cloud computing, the technologies of Internet of Things have been widely used in real word. Connecting wireless sensor networks with traditional communication networks or Internet, IoT gateway plays an important role in IoT applications. It facilitates the integration of wireless sensor networks and mobile communication networks or Internet. The IoT gateway is a key component in IoT application systems. But It has lot of security issues. We analyzed the issues of security and privacy.

To achieve security in wireless sensor networks (WSN), it is important to be able to encrypt messages sent among sensor nodes. We propose a new cryptographic key management protocol, which is based on the clustering scheme but does not depend on the probabilistic key. The protocol can increase the efficiency to manage keys since, before distributing the keys by bootstrap, the use of public keys shared among nodes can eliminate the processes to send or to receive keys among the sensors. Also, to find any compromised nodes safely on the network, it solves safety problems by applying the functions of a lightweight attack-detection mechanism.

We consider Wireless Sensor Network Security (WSN) and focus our attention to tolerate damage caused by an adversary who has compromised deployed sensor node to modify, block, or inject packets. We adopt a probabilistic secret sharing protocol where secrets shared between two sensor nodes are not exposed to any other nodes. Adapting to WSN characteristics, we incorporate these secrets to establish new pairwise key for node to node authentication and design multipath routing to multiple base stations to defend against HELLO flood attacks. We then analytically show that our defense mechanisms against HELLO flood attack can tolerate damage caused by an intruder.

MD-64 is a 64-bit block cipher suitable for the efficient implementation in hardware environments such as WSN. In this paper, we propose a related-key amplified boomerang attack on the full-round MD-64. The attack on the full-round MD-64 requires $2^{45.5}$ related-key chosen plaintexts and $2^{95}$ MD-64 encryptions. This work is the first known cryptanalytic result on MD-64.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be used in military surveillance, in which highly confidential data needs to be transmitted. In effect, security becomes a very important aspect in such networks. We present an efficient key management scheme for WSN. Our scheme is an improvement over SHELL [1] and mostly relies on communication within a cluster of nodes.
