Abstract

Wireless sensor networks usually require certain level of security, however there is lack of sensor nodes with cryptographic hardware build-in. We proved realization of cryptographic platform based on smart card-sensor node connection. Time complexity and power consumption of the platform was measured and compared to conventional software implementation. Our results showed low power demand and high efficiency of public key cryptography running on the platform.
