Security Analysis of Encrypted Key Exchange with Diffie Hellman In Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

This paper gives a brief introduction to the concept of Wireless Sensor Networks, an evolving technology. The applications of WSNs vary from day to day operations to critical applications like in the military. It further discusses certain security issues in WSNs and proceeds to a detailed analysis of the Diffie Hellman Encrypted Key Exchange (DH-EKE) and its consumption of energy when applied in Wireless Sensor Networks.
