Abstract. In this paper we propose a new key predistribution scheme for wireless sensor networks in which the sensors are arranged in a square grid. We describe how Costas arrays can be used for key predistribution in these networks, then define distinct difference configurations, a more general structure that provides a flexible choice of parameters in such schemes. We give examples of distinct difference configurations with good properties for key distribution, and demonstrate that the resulting schemes provide more efficient key predistribution on square grid networks than other schemes appearing in the literature.
In REF Blackburn, Etzion, Martin, and Paterson proposed a key predistribution scheme for a grid-based deployment scheme.
