This paper contributes to the challenging field of security for wireless sensor networks by introducing a keyagreement scheme in which sensor nodes create secure radio connections with their neighbours depending on the aidof third parties. These third parties are responsible only for the pair-wise key establishment among sensor nodes,so they do not observe the physical phenomenon nor route data...
