The wireless sensor network has a broad application in target tracking and locating, and is especially fit for military detection or guard. By arranging the sensor nodes around the target, this article establishes a tracking cluster which can follow the target logically, process data on the target and report to the sink node, thus achieving the tracking function. To improve the security, this article proposes a mobile cluster rekeying protocol (MCRP) to manage the tracking cluster’s season key. It is based on a random key predistribution algorithm (RKP), which is composed of a multi-path reinforcement scheme, a q-composition scheme and a one-way cryptographic hash function.
