Key distribution is an important issue in wireless sensor network(WSN) design. There are many key distribution schemes in the literature that are designed to maintain an easy and at the same time secure communication among sensor nodes.... Key distribution and key storage are more problematic in the cloud due to the transitory nature of the agents on it. 3, record 1, English, - key%20distribution
