Primitive Pythagorean triples in key management of sensor networks
by Yashwanth, Kothapalli, M.S., OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY, 2011, 41 pages; 1500109

Abstract:

This thesis deals with a new approach to key establishment in wireless sensor networks where the nodes have limited memory and communication capabilities. Primitive Pythagorean triples (PPT's) are used in this method in which we store odd numbers on sensor nodes and generate keys from them. This scheme needs at least one common odd number between two nodes to have a communication link, which increases the connectivity between nodes compared to q-composite scheme that requires at least q keys in common to have a communication.
