Secure Connectivity Model In Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) Using 1st Order Reed Muller Codes

In this paper, we suggest the idea of separately treating the connectivity and communication model of a Wireless Sensor Network(WSN). We then propose a novel connectivity model for a WSN using first order Reed-Muller Codes. While the model has a hierarchical structure, we have shown it works equally well for Distributed WSN. Though one can use any communication model, we prefer to use communication model suggested by Ruj and Roy [1] for all computations and results in our work. One might use two suitable secure (symmetric) cryptosystems on the two different models viz. connectivity and communication. By doing so we have shown how resiliency and scalability are appreciably improved as compared to Ruj and Roy [1]. Keywords-Connectivity, Communication, Reed-Muller Codes, Reed-Solomon Codes, Security.
