This paper proposes a Self-Organizing Key Security Management Algorithm (SKSM) for socially aware networking to enhance secure key transmission. The algorithm consists of three main components: node authentication protocol, node trust management, and key slice transmission. Zero-knowledge authentication and trust management are used to authenticate and manage network nodes. Threshold cryptographic segmentation is applied to keys for transmission, ensuring that encrypted information is not leaked or intercepted. Simulation results show that SKSM is more effective than traditional algorithms in ensuring secure message transmission, improving transmission rates, and reducing average network transmission latency. Socially aware networking (SKSM) is a new network paradigm derived from Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), Opportunity Networks (OppNet), and Mobile Autonomous Networking (MANET). SKSM can sense node context information to improve message forwarding rates. However, node context information contains private data, necessitating cryptographic modules for privacy protection. The encryption algorithm's key is crucial for secure communication, and strengthening key security management is essential in SKSM. Key management in social perceptual networks can be categorized into three types: threshold scheme-based, identity cryptography-based, and certificate chain-based. Threshold scheme-based management uses a (t,n) threshold scheme to distribute private keys. Identity-based cryptography uses a user's identity as their public key, requiring a trusted private key generation center. Certificate chain-based management uses a trust group to issue and verify certificates. Despite advancements, certificate chain approaches face challenges such as slow authentication success rates, high storage and maintenance costs, and dependency on trust models. SKSM addresses these issues by using zero-knowledge authentication, dynamic trust management, and key slicing for secure transmission. The algorithm aims to manage key and message transmission through these three components, enhancing network performance and security.This paper proposes a Self-Organizing Key Security Management Algorithm (SKSM) for socially aware networking to enhance secure key transmission.
