Security for Wireless Sensor Networks using Identity-Based Cryptography introduces identity-based cryptographic schemes for wireless sensor networks.

It starts with an exhaustive survey of the existing layered approach to WSN security--detailing its pros and cons.

Next, it examines new attack vectors that exploit the layered approach to security.

After providing the necessary background, the book presents a cross- layer design approach that addresses authentication, integrity, and encryption.

It also examines new ID-based key management mechanisms using a cross-layer design perspective.

In addition, secure routing algorithms using ID-based cryptography are also discussed.
