S-SPIN: A Provably Secure Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we present a provably secure routing protocol for wireless sensor networks, called S-SPIN (Secure-SPIN), that is a security extension of SPIN. The MAC scheme is introduced to guarantee the correctness and integrity of the messages. And we prove that under the formal security framework proposed by Acs et al, by using a mathematically rigorous proof technique, S-SPIN is secure if the MAC scheme is secure against existential forgery attack.
