Key management is a core mechanism to provide secure and reliable communications in wireless sensor networks WSNs . In large-scale WSNs due to the resource constraint on sensor nodes it is still an extremely challenging task to achieve good performance in terms of high network connectivity and strong resilience against sensor nodes capture with low overheads. To address this issue in this paper we propose a novel random pairwise key establishment scheme called RPKE. In RPKE sensor nodes differentiate their roles as either auxiliary nodes or ordinary nodes prior to network deployment. The auxiliary nodes act as distributed key distribution center KDC and neighboring ordinary nodes can establish pairwise key with the help of the distributed KDC. Theoretical analysis and simulation evaluation demonstrate that RPKE performs well in terms of network connectivity and resilience at the cost of low computation communication storage overheads compared to the existing counterparts. 1. Introduction Wireless Sensor Networks WSNs provide many promising applications such as pollution sensing environment and traffic .
