Alternative Protocol Implementation for Wireless Sensor Network Nodes

Abstract

C. O. Iwendi and K. J. Offor

The nodes being used in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) pose particular challenge to communicate with one another using TCP/IP especially when considering security applications. This paper investigates the limitations of current TCP/IP structure and an integration using micro IP (μIP) and proposes an enhanced security technique for WSN nodes to solve issues arising from the node congestion due to data distribution of keys with a better method for securing the data in the network. The summation of this method involves the integration of μIP stack to key management scheme, allowing the network to have extra security in the transmission and reception of data, and can be applied in hazardous areas where the sensor nodes are used without complications
