• Security in embedded systems: Design challenges (2004, background): “Various studies [Carman et al. 2000; Perrig et al. 2002; Potlapally et al. 2003] show that the widening battery gap would require designers to make energy-aware design choices (such as optimized security protocols, custom security hardware, and so on) for security.”
• Survey and benchmark of block ciphers for wireless sensor networks (2006, background): “Meanwhile, public-key algorithms are well-known to be prohibitively expensive [7].”
• Statistical en-route filtering of injected false data in sensor networks (2004, background): “It has been reported that encryption/decryption operations based on asymmetric keys consume two to three orders of magnitudes more energy than symmetric ones, and that signing a bit can be more expensive than transmitting a bit [6].”
• On Trust Establishment in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (2002, background): “For example, public key cryptosystems and random-number generators cannot be used since they are computationally intensive and consume a significant amount of power [8].”

• Biosec: a biometric based approach for securing communication in wireless networks of biosensors implanted in the human body (2003, methodology): “For example using a MIPS R4400 processor, establishment of a key with a 128 bit operation of Diffie-Hellman costs 15.9mJ while symmetric encryption of same bit length on the same processor consumes 0.00115mJ of energy[ 13 ].”
• Public Key Cryptography in Sensor Networks - Revisited (2004, methodology): “acknowledge in [8] that symmetric key techniques are attractive due to their energy efficiency, they also conclude that all symmetric key based key exchange protocols analyzed by them exhibit limitations in their flexibility.”
• Random key-assignment for secure Wireless Sensor Networks (2003, background): “Note that sending a message consumes more energy than receiving a message [22], and this is a parameter of interest in designing a key establishment protocol.”
