Lightweight middleware-based zigbee security in building energy management system

Abstract

Sensor networks have effects on various fields as usage of these increases. Building Energy Management System is one of the representative examples. Moreover, a variety of researches are added to the BEMS, and ZigBee is one of them. Various communication interfaces are used and tested but ZigBee security is relatively in an initial step. Furthermore, if heavyweight middleware is used in ZigBee networks, it could have influence on total system's performance. In this paper, we propose lightweight middleware to minimize load on the performance and provide security services. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
