Rasifard}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {With the widespread growth of applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the need for reliable security mechanisms these networks has increased manifold. Many security solutions have been proposed in the domain of WSN so far. These solutions are usually based on well-known cryptographic algorithms. In this paper, we have made an effort to survey well known security issues in WSNs and study the behavior of WSN nodes that perform public key cryptographic operations. We evaluate time and power consumption of public key cryptography algorithm for signature and key management by simulation.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {5}, year = {2008}, pages = {1448 - 1453}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1056}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/17}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 17, 2008}, }
