Namely, we apply a suitable threshold secret sharing scheme relying on advanced polynomial interpolation theory to design a distributed access control protocol exploiting the natural hierarchical structure of the WSN. date: 2007-06 date_type: published institution: University of Trento department: informaticat refereed: FALSE referencetext: [1] D.
