Quantum technology can enable secure communication for cryptography purposes using quantum key distribution. Quantum key distribution protocols provide a secret key between two users with security guaranteed by the laws of quantum…
Establishment of pairwise keys between sensor nodes in a sensor network is a difficult problem due to resource limitations of sensor nodes as well as vulnerability to physical captures of sensor nodes by the enemy. Public-key cryptosystems…
In wireless sensor networks, the $q$-composite key predistribution scheme is a widely recognized way to secure communications. Although connectivity properties of secure sensor networks with the $q$-composite scheme have been studied in the…
In this paper, we investigate the secure connectivity of wireless sensor networks utilizing the heterogeneous random key predistribution scheme, where each sensor node is classified as class-$i$ with probability $\mu_i$ for $i=1,\ldots,r$…
We consider wireless sensor networks secured by the heterogeneous random key predistribution scheme under an on/off channel model. The heterogeneous random key predistribution scheme considers the case when the network includes sensor nodes…

This article presents a secure key exchange algorithm that exploits reciprocity in wireless channels to share a secret key between two nodes $A$ and $B$. Reciprocity implies that the channel phases in the links $A\rightarrow B$ and…
Security proofs of quantum key distribution (QKD) often require post-processing schemes to simplify the data structure, and hence the security proof. We show a generic method to improve resulting secure key rates by partially reversing the…
This paper contributes to the challenging field of security for wireless sensor networks by introducing a key agreement scheme in which sensor nodes create secure radio connections with their neighbours depending on the aid of third…
In the context of wireless sensor networks, the pairwise key distribution scheme of Chan et al. has several advantages over other key distribution schemes including the original scheme of Eschenauer and Gligor. However, this offline…
Internet of Things (IoT) networks for smart sensor nodes in the next generation of smart wireless sensing systems require a distributed security scheme to prevent the passive (eavesdropping) or active (jamming and interference) attacks from…
This article presents an analysis of the secure key broadcasting scheme proposed by Wu, Ruan, Lai and Tseng. The study of the parameters of the system is based on a connection with a special type of symmetric equations over finite fields.…
Information theoretic secrecy is combined with cryptographic secrecy to create a secret-key exchange protocol for wireless networks. A network of transmitters, which already have cryptographically secured channels between them, cooperate to…
We study the secure and reliable connectivity of wireless sensor networks under the heterogeneous pairwise key predistribution scheme. This scheme was recently introduced as an extension of the random pairwise key predistribution scheme of…
The constraints of lightweight distributed computing environments such as wireless sensor networks lend themselves to the use of symmetric cryptography to provide security services. The lack of central infrastructure after deployment of…
Fundamental limits of secret-key agreement over reciprocal wireless channels are investigated. We consider a two-way block-fading channel where the channel gains in the forward and reverse links between the legitimate terminals are…
Modern communication strives towards provably secure systems which can be widely deployed. Quantum key distribution provides a methodology to verify the integrity and security of a key exchange based on physical laws. However, physical…
We construct general schemes for multi-partite quantum secret sharing using multi-level systems, and find that the consistent conditions for valid measurements can be summarized in two simple algebraic conditions. The scheme using the very…
To achieve security in wireless networks, it is important to be able to encrypt and authenticate messages sent among sensor nodes. Due to resource constraints, achieving such key agreement in wireless sensor networks in nontrivial. Blom's…
