A Level Key Infrastructure for Secure and Efficient Group Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks
PhD Candidate
Group communication to and from sets of sensor nodes is an important paradigm
in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Securing this group communication is a
difficult challenge given the energy-efficiency constraints posed by WSNs. In
this talk, I'll introduce the protocol SLIMCAST, i.e. Secure Level key
Infrastructure for MultiCAST and group communication, which uses level keys to
provide an infrastructure that dramatically lowers the cost of nodes joining
and leaving sensor groups.
This level key infrastructure is shown to achieve energy-efficient key updates
that are localized for group multicast 1->N communication, and can be further
leveraged to achieve secure group aggregation N->1 communication. Simulation
results comparing the performance of SLIMCAST to traditional secure group
communication protocols are presented to demonstrate SLIMCAST's energy
efficiency and flexibility.
This paper is based on work with Richard Han and Jason Buckingham. It will also be presented at SecureComm 2005.

BACTAC, the Beverage And Chips Tuesday Afternoon Colloquium, is a weekly forum
run by graduate students. The goal is provide an informal setting in which
anyone can (basically) present anything. In the past, we have had practice
talks for conferences and job interviews, research reports, juggle lessons (!),
student representative reports, internship discussions, an introduction to
ergonomics, and "pay attention to this when you are going to look for job"
discussions.
BACTAC is meant to be an informal and social event to promote the interaction
among graduate students. BACTAC is typically held every Tuesday, at 3:30pm,
in room ECOT 831. Free munchies and drinks are provided.
