Abstract

Environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and other applications require Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). WSN must efficiently manage cryptographic keys for safe communication and energy efficiency. This study introduces “Energy-Aware Key Revocation and Rekeying” (EAKRR) to address energy efficiency and security in WSN using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Energy-efficient key management is needed in WSN which have sensor nodes with limited resources and energy. EAKRR is designed to adapt to sensor node energy levels to make crucial key revocation and rekeying decisions while maintaining strong and resilient security. Energy profiling is used by EAKRR to assess sensor node energy consumption during cryptographic and operational operations. Energy conservation is achieved by localized key revocation when a node’s energy drops below a threshold. EAKRR also optimizes security and energy efficiency with ECC-based adaptive key length modifications. EAKRR is compared to LEACH and AES to determine its efficacy. The results show that EAKRR is highly energy efficient, extending the network’s lifespan and maintaining security. Cryptographic operations are careful and wise because they can adjust to energy levels in real time. The balance between security and energy usage shows that ECC-based encryption works. Energy-efficient key management in WSN is crucial. EAKRR solves WSN problems by saving energy, extending network life, and securing the network.
