The invention discloses a lightweight wireless sensor network safety small data distribution method. The method comprises the following stages that: at a first stage, namely, a system initializing stage, a base station generates a one-way key chain, and adds a key chain commitment value into each sensor node before deploying each sensor node; at a second stage, namely, a data packet preprocessing stage, the base station constructs a legal data packet of specific data items by using a Hash function; at a third stage, namely, a data packet verification stage, each sensor node verifies the received data packet, the data packet is received and the sensor node is updated if the received data packet is a legal data packet, otherwise, the data packet is abandoned directly. Under the consideration of limitation on common sensor node resources, the lightweight wireless sensor network safety small data distribution method has the advantages of resistance to sensor node compromise, high robustness on the aspects of packet loss and data packet transmission out-of-sequence, no need of time synchronism between the base station and each sensor node, and the like. Meanwhile, the lightweight wireless sensor network safety small data distribution method has the excellent characteristics of high efficiency, saving in energy, low storage overhead, resistance to malicious attacks, and the like.
