Cover Story: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are networks of small devices with limited resources that are able to collect different information for a variety of purposes. Energy and security play a key role in these networks, and MAC aspects are fundamental in their management. The classical security approaches, introducing high overload, are not suitable in WSNs given the limited resources of the nodes, which subsequently require lightweight cryptography mechanisms in order to achieve high security levels. Other than classical AES and RSA techniques, new approaches based on elliptic curves have been introduced in recent years. These mechanisms allow more-efficient resource management for the transmission of information towards a central node in a multihop way, guaranteeing data confidentiality and integrity.
