Abstract

A method of deploying a distributed sensor network which comprises a plurality of sensor nodes (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) each communicating wirelessly with nodes (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) which are within wireless range, using key-based encryption with each node being assigned a predetermined number of keys from a set of cryptographic keys, such that a given node may only exchange information directly with another node if the two have a key in common, wherein the keys have been distributed among the nodes by (i) associating each key in the set of keys with a respective key point in a projective space over a finite field; (ii) associating each sensor with a respective rational normal curve in the same projective space; and (iii) for a given sensor, assigning to that sensor the predetermined number of keys, being those keys that are associated with the key points that lie on the rational normal curve associated with that given sensor.
