A New Energy-Aware Approach for Packets Flow Signature

摘要

In this research paper, we aim at proposing a new energy-aware approach in order to authenticate packet flows in systems with limited energy. Reduction of power consumption is obtained by dynamically merging data packets and using lower message digests as a function of the system energy. This approach allows increasing the lifetime of battery-operated devices and avoids packets loss while maintaining an acceptable security level. Simulation results are presented in order to show energy savings.
