Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks have been an active area of research owing to its myriad range of applications. Traditional security protocols are not feasible for such networks due to their resource constraint nature. However, ECC has been considered as a viable cryptographic technique due to its low computational overhead.in this paper study and application of ECC on a popular wsn operating system, TinyOS has been carried out. Practical implementation of the ECC operations have been performed using TinyECC library. TinyECC has been used to develop custom security protocols on TinyOS. Performance benchmarking of the proposed protocols has also been carried out. The developed protocol has been fused on the Micaz Motes
