Abstract
One problem that frequently arises is the establishment of a secure connection between two network nodes. There are many key establishment protocols that are based on Trusted Third Parties or public key cryptography which are in use today. However, in the case of networks with frequently changing topology and size composed of nodes of limited computation power, such as the ad-hoc and sensor networks, such an approach is difficult to apply. One way of attacking this problem for such networks is to have the two nodes share some piece of information that will, subsequently, enable them to transform this information into a shared communication key. % Having each pair of network nodes share some piece of information is, often, achieved through appropriate \em key pre-distribution schemes. These schemes work by equipping each network node with a set of candidate key values, some of which shared with other network nodes possessing other keys sets. Later, when two nodes meet, they can employ a suitable key establishment protocol in order to locate shared values and used them for the creation of the communication key. % In this paper we give a formal definition of collusion resistant key predistribution schemes and then propose such a scheme based on probabilistically created set systems. The resulting key sets are shown to have a number of desirable properties that ensure the confidentiality of communication sessions against collusion attacks by other network nodes.
