Key establishment plays a central role in authentication and encryption in wireless sensor networks, especially when they are mainly deployed in hostile environments. Because of t...
—We present a novel approach for minimizing the energy consumption of medium access control (MAC) protocols developed for duty-cycled wireless sensor networks (WSN) for the unslo...

—We present the derivation of a novel metric for the performance prediction of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In particular, the metric can be applied in, for example, monitori...
— Data dissemination is an indispensible protocol component for the emerging large-scale sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a secure data dissemination protocol that enha...
