摘要:
The famous cryptographer Merkle first put forward the idea of Merkle tree authentication. Complete binary tree is used for large amounts of data authentication and signature. In recent years, many scholars use Merkle tree for wireless sensor networks. For the processing of a large number of sensor nodes, Merkle tree can cause high computational complexity, high memory demand, high traffic load, validation delay and a series of practical problems. The Graded Merkle tree is proposed to alleviate some of these issues. However, with the further increase in the number of sensor nodes and expansion of the geographical scope, the wireless sensor networks based on the Graded Merkle tree highlights some new problems, such as scalability, robustness, flexibility, security and so on. In this paper, a modified wireless sensor network architecture based on hierarchical Merkle tree is proposed to effectively solve the above problems. © 2017 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
