Many basic key distribution schemes specifically tuned to wireless sensor networks have been proposed in the literature. Recently, several researchers have proposed schemes in which they have used group-based deployment models and assumed predeployment knowledge of the expected locations of nodes. They have shown that these schemes achieve better performance than the basic schemes, in terms of connectivity, resilience against node capture and storage requirements. But in many situations expected locations of nodes are not available. In this paper we propose a solution which uses the basic scheme, but does not use group-based deployment model and predeployment knowledge of the locations of nodes, and yet performs better than schemes which make the aforementioned assumptions. In our scheme, groups are formed after deployment of sensor nodes, on the basis of their physical locations, and the nodes sample keys from disjoint key pools. Compromise of a node affects secure links with other nodes that are part of its group only. Because of this reason, our scheme performs better than the basic schemes and the schemes using predeployment knowledge, in terms of connectivity, storage requirement, and security. Moreover, the post-deployment key generation process completes sooner than in schemes like LEAP+.
