A novel key sharing fuzzy vault scheme is proposed based on the classic fuzzy vault and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol. In this proposed scheme, two users cooperatively build their fuzzy vault for their shared key using their own biometrics. Either of the users can use their own biometrics to unlock the fuzzy vault with the help of the other to get their shared key without risk of disclosure of their biometrics. Thus, they can unlock the fuzzy vault cooperatively. The security of our scheme is based on the security of the classic fuzzy vault scheme, one-way hash function and the discrete logarithm problem in a given finite group.

“…Zhou et al combined the pre-distributed pairwise key scheme with the hash chain, and presented an efficient and scalable pairwise key predistribution scheme using deployment knowledge in [20]. Considering that location discovery for sensor networks is very difficult, [21] uses the theory of the signal range and deployment error knowledge to analyze sensor nodes location information, and proved that novel deployment knowledge is also expected to provide superior performance with different types of key distribution schemes.…”

Due to the nature of wireless transmission, communication in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) is vulnerable to many adversarial activities including eavesdropping. Pairwise key establishment is one of the fundamental issues in securing WMNs. This paper presents a new matrix based pairwise key establishment scheme. Mesh client in our scheme only needs to prestore a key seed, which can be used to generate a column of secret matrix. It can establish pairwise keys with other clients after mesh routers broadcast public matrices. Our scheme is motivated by the fact that in WMNs, mesh routers are more powerful than mesh clients, both in computation and communication. Besides, we employ the pre deployment knowledge to reduce the computational cost of mesh clients. Security and complexity analysis show that the new scheme possesses several desirable features: 1) neighbor mesh clients can directly establish pairwise keys; 2) the new scheme is updatable, scalable, and robust against node capture attacks; and 3) communication and storage costs at mesh clients are significantly reduced.

Many security mechanisms have been proposed to countermeasure potential attacks in WMNs, and a non-exhaustive list includes location technology [3], [4], intrusion detection technology [5], [6], secure routing technology [7], [8] and key management technology [9]-[23].As a fundamental problem, key management has been both extensively and intensively studied in CPS and other similar situations. Taking wireless sensor networks (which are often integrated with WMNs) for example, asymmetric key cryptographic algorithms are generally considered infeasible for computing and communicating between energyconstrained sensor nodes [9]. Though such a constraint has been partially alleviated with the development of modern technology, it is still a fact that sensor nodes are not able to afford frequent asymmetric cryptographic operations. Other mechanisms, such as Kerberos, cannot be directly applied to sensor networks due to the lack of trusted infrastructure [10].According to its characteristics, key management can be classified by Self-enforcing Schemes, Arbitrated Keying Schemes and Key Pre-distribution Schemes [11], where Key Pre-distribution Schemes (hereinafter, KPS) is the focus of this paper. In KPS, a key management authority (also known as key distribution center) loads keys into nodes prior to deployment, then neighbor nodes can establish secure communication keys using their pre-loaded keys. Arguably the most straightforward KPS is to equip all nodes with a common master key, and any node can negotiate a session key with each other using the master key after deployment. However, an inherent weakness of this approach is that all communicatio...

In recent years, user authentication has emerged as an interesting field of research in wireless sensor networks. Most recently, in 2016, Chang and Le presented a scheme to authenticate the users in wireless sensor network using a password and smart card. They proposed two protocols scriptP1 and scriptP2. scriptP1 is based on exclusive or (XOR) and hash functions, while scriptP2 deploys elliptic curve cryptography in addition to the two functions used in scriptP1. Although their protocols are efficient, we point out that both scriptP1 and scriptP2 are vulnerable to session specific temporary information attack and offline password guessing attack, while scriptP1 is also vulnerable to session key breach attack. In addition, we show that both the protocols scriptP1 and scriptP2 are inefficient in authentication and password change phases. To withstand these weaknesses found in their protocols, we aim to design a new authentication and key agreement scheme using elliptic curve cryptography. Rigorous formal security proofs using the broadly accepted, the random oracle models, and the Burrows–Abadi–Needham logic and verification using the well‐known Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications tool are preformed on our scheme. The analysis shows that our designed scheme has the ability to resist a number of known attacks comprising those found in both Chang–Le's protocols. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
