In order to solve security problem of clustering algorithm, we proposed a method to enhance the security of the well-known lowest-ID clustering algorithm. This method is based on the idea of the secret sharing and the (k, n) threshold cryptography. Each node, whether clusterhead or ordinary member, holds a share of the global certificate, and anyk nodes can communicate securely. There is no need for any clusterhead to execute extra functions more than routing. Our scheme needs some prior configuration before deployment, and can be used in critical environment with small scale. The security-enhancement for Lowest-ID algorithm can also be applied into other clustering approaches with minor modification. The feasibility of this method was verified by the simulation results.
