The article proposed one-pass authenticated key establishment protocol from optimal eta pairings in random oracle for Wireless Sensor Networks. Security of the protocol relies on Computational Diffie-Hellman Problem on Optimal Eta Pairings. In one-pass key establishment protocol, the initiator computes a session key and a re1ated message. The key token is to be sent to the intended receiver using receiver's public key and sender secret key. From the received key token the receiver compute the session key, which is the same as the one computed by the sender,using sender public key and receiver's secret key. Because of low communication overhead, the scheme is better suited for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) than the traditional key establishment protocol to establish the session key between two adjacent nodes.

Wide Range

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently attracted a lot of interest in the research community due their wide range of applications in our lives ranging from military applications to civilian ones.. Due to distributed nature of these networks and their deployment in remote areas, these networks are vulnerable to numerous security threats that can adversely affect their proper functioning. This problem is more critical if the network is deployed for some mission-critical applications such as in a tactical battlefield. Random failure of nodes is also very likely in real-life deployment scenarios. Due to resource constraints in the sensor nodes, traditional security mechanisms with large overhead of computation and communication are infeasible in WSNs. Security in sensor networks is, therefore, a particularly challenging task. In this current paper, we fundamentally focus on the security issue of WSNs and propose a protocol based on public key cryptography for external agent authentication and session key establishment. The proposed protocol is efficient and secure in compared to other public key based protocols in WSNs.

Security is a prerequisite of each device that provides physical access to anyone and is logically expose to communication network attacks. The Internet of Things (IoT) must assure energy-saving provision due to the unique characteristics of IoT devices that comprise cost-effective, low power, and data delivery capacity. A Key-based Authentication scheme is a need without creating a bottleneck of communication for security in IoT integration. Security solutions viz., Authentication, Access control, and Key management are essential for the protection of communication in IoT applications. Public Key Cryptography (PKC) encapsulates multiple security functionalities and applications in conventional networks. The proposed Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Blended Authentication and Session Key Establishment Technique (EBASKET), an enhanced HPAKE scheme secures the IoT device interactions using Hash and Public Key Cryptography conjoined with a Stochastic Number. EBASKET authenticates and establishes Session Key for communicating IoT Devices using ECC that enhances the security resisting Key Disclosure, Man-in-The-Middle (MiTM), Relay threats. It incorporates an Elliptic Curve of 256 bits to achieve the 128 bits security level. EBASKET accomplishes Key Establishment utilizes Nonce as the Fragmentary Key after authenticating the intercommunicating Devices. It decreases the overall delay incurred reducing the communication overhead minimizing the quantity and magnitude of the messages exchange for Authentication. A secure Key Establishment for the Session uses a Stochastic, Hashing function, and ECC. The interactions throughout the Predeploying, Authenticating, and Key Establishing process cause a delay. The performance graph depicts that Key Establishment and authenticating the IoT devices using ECC and reducing communicational cost enhance security than Enhanced, Hybrid, and Lightweight Authentication Schemes.

Near Future

WSN (wireless sensor network) is one of the main technologies in IoT (Internet of Things) applications or services. To date, several schemes have been proposed to establish a pair-wise key between two nodes in WSN, and most of them are designed to establish long-term keys used throughout the network lifetime. However, in the near future, if WSN will be used for information infrastructures in various fields such as manufacturing, distribution, or public facilities management and its life cycle can be as long as that of other common networks, it will definitely be advantageous in terms of security to encrypt messages using session keys instead of long-term keys. In this paper, we propose a session key establishment scheme for clustered sensor networks that is based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange and hash chain. The proposed scheme eliminates vulnerabilities of existing schemes for WSN and has improved security. The proposed scheme is efficient in terms of energy costs compared to related schemes.

Dynamic Key

In recent years, wireless sensor network (WSN) applications have tended to transmit data hop by hop, from sensor nodes through cluster nodes to the base station. As a result, users must collect data from the base station. This study considers two different applications: hop by hop transmission of data from cluster nodes to the base station and the direct access to cluster nodes data by mobile users via mobile devices. Due to the hardware limitations of WSNs, some low-cost operations such as symmetric cryptographic algorithms and hash functions are used to implement a dynamic key management. The session key can be updated to prevent threats of attack from each communication. With these methods, the data gathered in wireless sensor networks can be more securely communicated. Moreover, the proposed scheme is analyzed and compared with related schemes. In addition, an NS2 simulation is developed in which the experimental results show that the designed communication protocol is workable.

Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (HWSNs) are employed in many real-time applications, such as Internet of sensors (IoS), Internet of vehicles (IoV), healthcare monitoring, and so on. As wireless sensor nodes have constrained computing, storage and communication capabilities, designing energy-efficient authentication protocols is a very important issue in wireless sensor network security. Recently, Amin et al. presented an untraceable and anonymous three-factor authentication (3FA) scheme for HWSNs and argued that their protocol is efficient and can withstand the common security threats in this sort of networks. In this article, we show how their protocol is not immune to user impersonation, de-synchronization and traceability attacks. In addition, an adversary can disclose session key under the typical assumption that sensors are not tamper-resistant. To overcome these drawbacks, we improve the Amin et al.’s protocol. First, we informally show that our improved scheme is secure against the most common attacks in HWSNs in which the attacks against Amin et al.’s protocol are part of them. Moreover, we verify formally our proposed protocol using the BAN logic. Compared with the Amin et al.’s scheme, the proposed protocol is both more efficient and more secure to be employed which renders the proposal suitable for HWSN networks.

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.
