Abstract
A key is the most important part of any cryptographic algorithm. Since the cryptographic algorithm is publicly available, ensuring that the key is kept confidential is very important. Key management is an area that deals with key generation, key distribution, key storage, key change and key destruction. It is an important concern for both secure wired and wireless communications. It is one of the major challenges in case of wireless networks because of the lack of any fixed infrastructure and dynamic nature of the ad hoc networks. In this paper I will be doing a survey on various key management techniques available in wireless networks. Then I will compare these techniques on various factors such as security, communication cost, computation cost, etc. Also, I will be discussing various key management schemes available in databases for storing and retrieving the data.
