Abstract

This paper presents our ongoing work towards a new lightweight security approach for Wireless Sensor Networks. Applying several changes in the standard Elliptic Curve Cryptography parameter sets and algorithms we get a public/secret key hybrid with a reasonable security level and much shorter key sizes. Here we present the main idea, the algorithms together with the initial security analysis and the directions for the future research.
