Impersonating-Resilient Dynamic Key Management for Large-Scale Wireless Sensor Networks by Gowun Jeong, Yong-Ho Seo, Hyun S. Yang

“…Moreover, an attacker physically capturing even a few nodes hampers the entire network security by impersonating nodes to inject false data in an undetected manner. To efficiently protect from such impersonating by node capture, we propose a new dynamic key management framework particularly for large-scale clustered sensor networks. …”
