This paper, we provide a framework in which to study the security of key pre-distribution schemes, propose a new key pre-distribution scheme which substantially improves the resilience of the network compared to previous schemes, and give an in-depth analysis of our scheme in terms of network resilience and associated overhead. Our scheme exhibits a nice threshold property: when the number of compromised nodes is less than the threshold, the probability that communications between any additional nodes are compromised is close to zero. This desirable property lowers the initial payoff of smaller-scale network breaches to an adversary, and makes it necessary …

This paper describes a successful adaptation of the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to discrete optimization problems. In the proposed algorithm, particles cycle through multiple phases with differing goals. We also exploit hill climbing. On benchmark problems, this algorithm outperforms a genetic algorithm and a previous discrete PSO formulation.
