= Key distribution in wireless sensor networks
{wiki=Key_distribution_in_wireless_sensor_networks}
Key distribution in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) refers to the process of securely distributing cryptographic keys among sensor nodes to enable secure communication within the network. Since wireless sensor networks often operate in unattended or hostile environments, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data is critical. The key distribution mechanism is designed to establish secure links between nodes while minimizing the risks of eavesdropping, unauthorized access, and key compromise.
