With the increased application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to military commercial and home environments securing the data in the network has become a critical issue Several security mechanisms such as TinySec have been introduced to address the need for ecurity in WSNs The cost of security however still mostly remains an unknown variable To provide a better understanding of this cost we have studied three aspects of WSNs security encryption algorithms modes of operation for block ciphers and message authentication algorithms We have measured and compared their memory and energy conumption on both MicaZ and TelosB sensor motes The results of our experiments provide insight into the suitability of different security algorithms for use in WSN environments and could be used by WSN designers to construct the security architecture of their systems in a way that both satisfies the requirements of the application and reasonably uses the constrained sensor resources (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved
