24. For the remainder of this paper, we assume that all nodes locations are fixed for the duration of their lifetime.
25. Although a NKS is used, an alternative is the prestorage of pair-wise node keys, where each node stores a separate key for communication with each of the other CH nodes in the network.
26. Although symmetric keys are used, asymmetric keys can also be used inside a cluster with minor modifications.
