Smart grid is a modernized electrical grid. It is used to collect information about behaviors of suppliers and consumers and improve the efficiency, reliability, and economics of electricity. Recently, advanced metering infrastructure is proposed as a critical part of the smart grid. The security of advanced metering infrastructure is special importance for smart grid. In order to achieve data confidentiality, privacy, and authentication in advanced metering infrastructure, a lightweight authentication and key agreement scheme is proposed in this article. The scheme provides mutual authentication, key agreement, key refreshment, and multicast mechanism which can prevent various attacks. Furthermore, we analyze the security and performance of the scheme. The analysis shows that the proposed scheme is suitable for smart grid.

Background: It is paramount to secure the healthcare system from unauthorized users and security attacks through appropriate security mechanisms as a break in communication process leads to leaked or blurred messages, which is totally unacceptable. Moreover, mutual authentication is a core requirement for privacy protection as it is paramount to control who is accessing the sensed data and whether they are authenticated or not. In addition to this, energy efficiency is a major issue to be dealt with. Objective: After examination of the present related schemes, we proposed a novel Secured, Anonymity Preserving and Lightweight Mutual Authentication and Key Agreement Scheme (SALMAKA) for two-hop WBAN topology; where the scheme mutually authenticates the sensing nodes with the controller node in an anonymous, energy efficient manner and establishes session key securely. Method: To corroborate the accuracy of the proposed scheme, Burrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN) logic and Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) simulator are used. Apart from this, informal security evaluation is also performed in detail. Results: To exhibit the practical application and performance of the proposed scheme, it is compared with the existing related schemes and the results reveal that the proposed scheme reduces energy consumption, processing cost and processing time significantly. Conclusion: A Secured, Anonymity Preserving and Lightweight Mutual Authentication and Key Agreement Scheme (SALMAKA) for two-hop WBAN topology is propounded.

With the increasing number of users and the emergence of different types of network services, a multi-server architecture has emerged in recent years. In order to ensure the secure communication of Internet participants in an open network environment, the authentication and key agreement protocol for multi-server architectures were proposed in the past. In 2018, Chatterjee et al. put forward a lightweight three-factor authentication and key agreement protocol for a multi-server environment, and they claimed that all known security features with satisfactory performance could be realized in their protocol. However, it is found that their scheme is vulnerable to user impersonation attacks and cannot achieve user un-traceability and three-factor security through our cryptanalysis. In order to solve these shortcomings, we propose a new lightweight and anonymous three-factor authentication scheme for the multi-server environment in this article. Furthermore, the proposed protocol is proved to be AKE secure theoretically, and we use BAN-logic to prove that our protocol realizes mutual authentication between communication participants. Finally, we show that our proposed scheme is practical and efficient through the comparison of security features and performance.
