Distinct Difference Configurations and their use for key pre-distribution in Wireless Sensor Networks

Distinct Difference Configurations and their use for key pre-distribution in Wireless Sensor Networks
Description: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are networks of spatially distributed devices that monitor their environment and communicate wirelessly across the network. Cyber Security should be implemented in WSNs, especially when the WSN is used to monitor critical national infrastructure. This project investigates the proposed use of Distinct Difference Configurations (DDC) to pre-distribute keys to protect the confidentiality of the data transmitted between devices in the WSN. The investigation will look for large DDCs to determine the connectivity of this key pre-distribution scheme and compare this scheme to other combinatorial-based schemes.
