Orthogonal Code Based Anonymity Communication Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In some environments, the security of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) involves not only the security of sending data, but also the anonymity and privacy during data delivery, how to design a secure efficient anonymity communication scheme for wireless sensor networks has became an important research topic. The proposed schemes can provide efficient anonymous communication, but some of the schemes need more overheads on computation, storage and bandwidth consumption. In this paper, an anonymous secure communication protocol for wireless sensor network is proposed based on orthogonal code and symmetric secret key, comparing with the previous anonymous communication schemes for wireless sensor networks, this scheme not only can satisfy the basis require of anonymity communication, but also improve distinctly in storage and bandwidth consumption, and is more suitable for the wireless sensor networks.
