Wireless networks of sensor devices promise the opportunity for new and innovative applications for sectors such as military, manufacturing and healthcare. To realize their full potential - with mobile nodes and ad hoc network formations that scale - sensor networks must: Operate securely: nodes must be uniquely identifiable, and communications between them must be secured. Be easily deployed and managed: node enrollment in the network must be simple and facilitate node mobility and changes. The solution for sensor network security is public-key cryptography which distributes intelligence in the network, giving each node the ability to validate the identity of other participating nodes. This enables improved node mobility and flexible topologies for sensor networks that are scalable, fluid and easily reconfigurable, setting the stage for an array of new and innovative applications. Enable New Applications with ECC from Certicom Because Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) delivers more security per bit than other public-key schemes, it is the only public-key scheme capable of meeting the footprint and power limitations of sensor devices. Certicom Security for Sensor Networks enables developers of low power sensor devices to build secure, reliable operation into sensor networks from design and development through to manufacturing, deployment and upgrade. Certicom Security for Sensor Networks includes:
