Self-healing group key distribution protocol in wireless sensor networks for secure IoT communications

The Internet of Things(IoT) aims to collect a large amount of data and exchange them over wireless networks by connecting billions of perception objects. Security becomes essential for IoT since unreliable wireless networks often create insecure connections. To ensure the group communication security and improve the communication efficiency, self-healing group key distribution (SGKD) protocols are introduced for unreliable wireless networks. In...
