Broadcast Authentication

Broadcast authentication is a fundamental security primitive in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which is a critical sensing component of IoT. Although symmetric-key-based μTESLA protocol has been proposed, some concerns about the difficulty of predicting the network lifecycle in advance and the security problems caused by an overlong long hash chain still remain. This paper presents a scalable broadcast authentication scheme named DH-μTESLA, which is an extension and improvement of μTESLA and Multilevel μTESLA, to achieve several vital properties, such as infinite lifecycle of hash chains, security authentication, scalability, and strong tolerance of message loss. The proposal consists of the t,n-threshold-based self-reinitializable hash chain scheme (SRHC-TD) and the d-left-counting-Bloom-filter-based authentication scheme (AdlCBF). In comparison to other broadcast authentication protocols, our proposal achieves more security properties such as fresh node’s participation and DoS resistance. Furthermore, the reinitializable hash chain constructed in SRHC-TD is proved to be secure and has less computation and communication overhead compared with typical solutions, and efficient storage is realized based on AdlCBF, which can also defend against DoS attacks.

Broadcast Authentication

The use of signature-based broadcast authentication for code and data dissemination in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cannot be avoided. It increases security but requires high computation. Adversaries can exploit the latter condition as an opportunity to send many false signatures. Filtering methods can overcome this vulnerability. Cipher Puzzle is a filtering method that has low storage overhead along with high security, especially against denial of service (DoS) attacks. However, its number of hash iterations cannot be bounded, which causes sender-side delay. This paper proposes a Dynamic Cipher Puzzle (DCP), which uses a threshold function to limit the number of hash iterations. Hence, time at the sender-side can be used more efficiently. Besides, its dynamic puzzle-strength increases the obscurity of the transmitted packet. Simulation and experimental results were analyzed with Arduino 2560. The theoretical results show that the quadratic function outperformed the compared methods. The scheme decreased sender-side delay by 94.6% with a guarantee of zero solution probability in 1.728 × 10 − 13 . The experimental results show that the consumption of resources at the sensor node increases with an acceptable value. Moreover, DCP increases the complexity for the attacker to implement probability and signature-based DoS attacks.

Broadcast Authentication

In Wireless Sensor Networks, Broadcast communication is the most fundamental and prevailing communication pattern. Securing the broadcast messages from the adversary is critical issue. To defend the WSNs against the adversary attacks of impersonation of a broadcast source or receiver, modification/fabrication of the broadcast message, attacker injecting malicious traffic to deplete the energy from the sensors, broadcast authentication of source and receivers becomes extremely inevitable. In this paper, we propose a novel ECC based public key distribution protocol and broadcast authentication scheme. The proposed method provides high security and has low overhead.

Wireless sensor networks are now used in various fields. The information transmitted in the wireless sensor networks is very sensitive, so the security issue is very important. DOS (denial of service) attacks are a fundamental threat to the functioning of wireless sensor networks. This paper describes some of the most common DOS attacks and potential methods of protection against them. The case study shows one of the most frequent attacks on wireless sensor networks – the interference attack. In the introduction of this paper authors assume that the attack interference can cause significant obstruction of wireless sensor networks. This assumption has been proved in the case study through simulation scenario and simulation results.
