262 ◾ Security for Multihop Wireless Networks
Besides this, the execution times for these small nodes were very high. Keep in
mind that we only have to decrypt a new scope key once in awhile for rekeying or,
when a new scope is created these may still be acceptable values. Of course nodes
should run at full power for this kind of operation.
In getting these numbers, we wanted to check if the provided assembler code
for several methods inside the TinyECC library could speed up execution times.
As we only had a working assembler code for the Tmotes, we compared execution
times with and without the assembler code for the small property set (s
