In order to protect the sensitive data and the sensor readings secret keys should be used to encrypt the exchanged messages between communicating nodes. Traditional asymmetric key cryptosystems are infeasible in WSN due to its low capacity at each senor node. In this paper we propose a new key distribution scheme for hierarchical WSNs with renewable network devices. Compared to some of the existing schemes our key establishment methods possess the following features that are particularly beneficial to the resource-constrained large-scale WSNs 1 robustness to the node capture attack 2 flexibility for adding new network devices 3 scalability in terms of storage cost and 4 low communication overhead.

Introduction Wireless sensor networks WSNs have been envisioned to be very useful for a broad spectrum of emerging civil and military applications 1 . However sensor networks are also confronted with many security threats such as node compromise routing disruption and false data injection .
