B.8. Location-aware Key Predistribution
The key predistribution algorithms discussed so far are based on a random deployment model. In practice, the deployment model (like the expected location of each node and the overall geometry of the deployment area) may be known a priori. This knowledge can be effectively exploited to tune the key predistribution algorithms so as to achieve better connectivity and higher resilience against node capture. As an example, consider sensor nodes deployed from airplanes in groups or scattered uniformly from trucks. Since the approximate tracks of these vehicles are planned a priori, the key rings of the nodes can be loaded appropriately to achieve the expected performance enhancements.
Two nodes that are in the ...
