ON THE DISTRIBUTED REVOCATION OF NODES IN SENSOR NETWORKS

Revocation in sensor networks is a challenging problem because asymmetric key cryptosystems are unsuitable for use in resource constrained sensor nodes. We present some properties of node revocation in distributed sensor networks (DSN) and explain their implementation…
