Secure data transmission is important in a wireless sensor networks (WSN) which can be used in a variety of applications. The security requirements in WSNs include four major aspects; data confidentiality, data integrity, data authentication and data freshness. Cryptography is used to cater these requirements. WSNs consists of a group of self organizing, lightweight sensor nodes that are used to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions. Commonly monitored parameters include temperature, sound, humidity, vibration, pressure and motion. Each sensor node in a WSN is equipped with a radio transmitter, several sensors, a battery unit and a microcontroller. Although WSN research was initially motivated by military applications, wireless sensor networks are now used in many industrial and public service areas including traffic monitoring, weather conditions monitoring, video surveillance, industrial automation and healthcare applications. Because of the size and cost constraints on sensor nodes, they are limited by energy, bandwidth, memory and other resources. Any protocol design for WSNs needs to consider the limitations of sensor nodes carefully.
