Secure Transmission in Wireless Sensors' Domain Supported by the TPM

Wireless sensor networks are an essential component of the fast-growing Internet of Things. The nodes of such network usually have small energy resources and do not have big computing power. The big challenge is to secure transmissions between nodes of the network and continuous authentication of nodes in data link layer of such network. This paper presents a proposal to solve this kind of problem using TPM in the domain of sensors. A model of wireless sensor network as well as operations associated with authentication in the sensors domain are presented. Additionally, an implementation of selected operations in the sensors domain is described. The test environment including the construction of nodes equipped with the TPM and obtained results related to the transmission delay time and power consumption are presented.
