• Key management in Wireless Sensor Network

• limited resources and open communication channel

• in addition

• wireless communication poses additional threats to the critical information being sent and received over there

• WSN are necessary to be protected from different attacks

• But

• the major problem to secure WSN is a key distribution after deploying the sensor nodes in specific area

• This paper examines the design of an efficient key management distribution scheme for WSN

• The proposed method based on knapsack algorithm that requires generating a series of vectors to encrypt the private keys only that will be sent to the cluster heads by base station

• The same method is used by each cluster head to encrypt only the keys that will be sent to their members

• The simulation results showed that the proposed key management method can offers efficient security prerequisites

• suitable scalability

• and connectivity to achieve authentication
