Abstract

It is important to reduce unnecessary overhead in sensor network using battery. In addition encryption is important because of necessity of security. Since unavoidable overhead occurs in case of encryption, security and overhead are in trade-off condition. In this paper, we use a concept called trust to reduce the encryption overhead. We reduce overhead by controlling encryption key sizes while maintaining the security level where high and low trust nodes are mixed. We simulated and compared normal encryption and trust value based encryption. As a result, the latter has lower execution time and overhead. If we define a standard of trust levels considering purpose and circumstances of real network, we can use constrained resources efficiently in sensor network.
