Abstract. A challenge in resource-constrained sensor networks is to provide secure
communication in an efficient manner, even in the presence of denial-of-service attacks. In
this article, we present a simple protocol for secret maintenance between a pair of network
neighbors. We claim that certain adversaries cannot compromise the current secret shared by
