Abstract

Aiming at the quantum algorithm which can solve the problem of large integer decomposition and discrete logarithm in polynomial time, an anti-quantum computing key management scheme for clustered sensor networks is proposed in this paper. The lattice-based cryptosystem is used to achieve the anti-quantum performance of the key management scheme, and the security of the network is further improved through the mutual authentication of sensor network nodes. Due to the limited storage space of sensor nodes, this paper adopts the cluster management of wireless sensor networks, and most sensor nodes only need a small amount of storage space, thus reducing the deployment cost. Cluster management is suitable for medium and large-scale deployment of sensor networks. Because the data traffic is much larger than that of mutual authentication, the sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks use symmetric keys to communicate with each other after mutual authentication, which can effectively improve the communication efficiency in the case of frequent data communication. Experiments show that the authentication scheme based on lattice cryptosystem proposed in this paper will not improve with the continuous improvement of the security level, and its authentication scale will maintain a relatively stable state, while the algorithm scheme based on RSA will increase the authentication cost with the continuous improvement of the security level, so the scheme proposed in this paper is more suitable for application in the environment with high security level. This scheme can effectively reduce the cost of mutual authentication of sensor nodes, is conducive to the expansion of the network, and can ensure the security of authentication between sensor nodes even in the post-quantum era.
