The main goal of Network Coding (NC) is to find an optimal transmission of data in a network. NC presents an advantage for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in term of network lifetime. However, the Network Coding-enabled WSNs are affected by various attacks, such as pollution attacks. Many HMAC schemes have been proposed in the literature to secure packets against pollution attacks. In 2015, Esfahani et al. proposed a dual-homomorphic MAC scheme based to the construction of two different MACs to ensure the integrity of coded packets. Their solution has many weaknesses in terms of security against tag pollution attacks. In this paper, we improve their scheme by proposing a novel HMAC scheme for NC enabled WSNs, called E-HMAC, based on multi-linear space to check the integrity of coded packets. The simulation results demonstrate the ability of our proposed scheme to secure the coded packets with a low key storage overhead and communication overhead, compared to Esfahani et al.'s scheme.

“…As a result, even with sufficient packets, the destination node may fail to recover the original data, squandering network resources. Existing countermeasures against pollution attacks generally fall into two categories: information-theoretic methods [12][13][14] and cryptographic methods [15][16][17]. Information-theoretic methods introduce redundancy to recover from malicious faults but merely tolerate pollution attacks passively at the destination.…”

Network coding is a potent technique extensively utilized in decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) systems, including the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Nevertheless, the inherent packet-mixing characteristics of network coding expose data transmission to pollution attacks, potentially compromising the integrity of original files. The homomorphic signature scheme serves as a robust cryptographic tool that can bolster network coding’s resilience against such attacks. However, current schemes are computationally intensive for signature verification, making them impractical for IoMT environments. In this study, we propose a lightweight identity-based network coding scheme (IBNS) that minimizes computational overhead during the signing and verification processes. This scheme has been demonstrated to be secure against adaptive chosen-message attacks and is well-suited for IoMT applications. Furthermore, we assess the performance of our IBNS through both theoretical and experimental analyses. Simulation outcomes confirm that our scheme outperforms previous ones in terms of practicality and efficiency.

“…Network coding has the merits of high transmission efficiency, fast speed, strong robustness, and good stability, but it is vulnerable to the pollution attacks in the data transmission process. In recent years, the researchers have proposed a series of network-coding signature schemes [2][3][4][5][6] to solve the network coding contamination, where the schemes in [4,5] effectively solved the replay attacks by using the time stamps; the certificateless network-coding homomorphism signature [6] is designed by using the homomorphic hash function; it can resist the replay attacks with forgery attacks at the same time and has lower computational overhead with the communication cost.…”

Network coding can save the wireless network resources and improve the network throughput by combining the routing with coding. Traditional multisignature from certificateless cryptosystem is not suitable for the network coding environment. In this paper, we propose a certificateless multisignature scheme suitable for network coding (NC-CLMSS) by using the sequential multisignature and homomorphic hash function. NC-CLMSS is based on the CDH and ECDL problems, and its security is detailedly proved in the random oracle (RO) model. In NC-CLMSS, the source node generates a multisignature for the message, and the intermediate node linearly combines the receiving message. NC-CLMSS can resist the pollution and forgery attacks, and it has the fixed signature length and relatively high computation efficiency.
