| Abstract | State Based Key Hop (SBKH) protocol is created to provide a strong, lightweight encryption scheme for battery operated 802.11 devices, such as the sensors in a wireless sensor network. Due to its simplicity and ease of maintenance compared to wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) protected access (WPA) version 1.0 with robust security network association (RSNA) key management, SBKH also targets small office home office (SOHO) users. SBKH will support ad hoc networking, power save (PS) mode and even handoffs. This protocol eliminates all the issues with wired equivalent privacy (WEP) protocol, using existing hardware and software as much as possible. |
