Evolutionary Design of Secrecy Amplification Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks
Secrecy Amplification Protocol, Wireless Sensor Networks, Genetic Programming
We propose a new method for automatic generation of secrecy
amplification protocols for wireless sensor networks, utilizing evolutionary
algorithms. We were able to rediscover all published protocols for secrecy
amplification we are aware of, and found a new protocol that outperforms the
existing ones. An alternative construction of secrecy amplification protocols
with a comparable fraction of secure links to that of the original
"node-oriented" approach was also designed. This new construction exhibits only
linear (instead of exponential) increase of necessary messages when the number of
communication neighbours grows. This efficient protocol can significantly
reduce the sensor battery power consumption because of the decreased message
transmission rate. We used a combination of linear genetic programming and
a network simulator in this work.
