    abstract = {Providing security service in wireless sensor networks using 
  authentication techniques turns out to be a non-trivial task due to network 
  resource constraints. To improve the network security it is often necessary 
  to combine intrusion detection techniques with the key management protocols. 
  Several symmetric key cryptographic solutions proposed earlier are inefficient 
  against node compromise attacks due to delay in the disclosure of secret keys. 
  On the other hand, conventional public key cryptographic techniques suffer from 
  large key sizes introducing large communication overhead and delayed authentication. 
  Researchers propose MultiSECPKC, a highly reliable authentication protocol based 
  on public key cryptography to provide an energy efficient secured environment 
  against node compromise attacks which would otherwise waste the energy of network 
  resources. Any compromised node is detected and isolated in the initial stage 
  itself with minimum overheads and energy consumption. The best and fresh route 
  is formed using intermediate nodes between the source and the sink. In addition, 
  this scheme exploits the use of only one ECDSA signature to authenticate the 
  messages which in turn reduces the overhead of the sink in performing signature 
  verification. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can provide very 
  low overheads in terms of storage, computation and communication with high energy 
  saving and high reliability. The proposed scheme is more resilient to node compromise 
  attacks and can be applied for different routing techniques for sensor networks.}
