  abstract =	 {As sensor networks edge closer towards wide-spread deployment, security issues
  become a central concern. So far, much research has focused on making sensor
  networks feasible and useful, and has not concentrated on security.
  
  We present a suite of security building blocks optimized for
  resource-constrained environments and wireless communication. SPINS has two
  secure building blocks: SNEP and mTESLA. SNEP provides the following
  important baseline security primitives: Data confidentiality, two-party data
  authentication, and data freshness. A particularly hard problem is to provide
  efficient broadcast authentication, which is an important mechanism for sensor
  networks. mTESLA is a new protocol which provides authenticated broadcast for
  severely resource-constrained environments.  We implemented the above
  protocols, and show that they are practical even on minimal hardware: the
  performance of the protocol suite easily matches the data rate of our network.
  Additionally, we demonstrate that the suite can be used for building higher
  level protocols.},
