Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used to collect and transmitted the data in various applications from normal to those which requires significant security issues. Only legitimate users can get access to the data a secure and efficient user authentication scheme is required. As a part of this study, we analyze three recently proposed user authentication and session key establishment schemes for WSNs and shows their weaknesses. To remove the weaknesses of these schemes, we propose an improved user authentication and session key agreement scheme using keyed fuzzy extractors and Chebyshev chaotic maps. We use Burrows-Abadi-Needham logic analysis to exhibit that the proposed scheme ensures mutual authentication and establishes a session key between user and sensor node. We also use scyther tool to exhibit that the designed scheme offers all scurity features and resist all known attacks. The performance comparison exhibits that the proposed scheme is robust and efficient than other concerned schemes.

“…ECC is used widely in constrained environments, particularly those relying on low computing power devices (e.g., IoT and WSNs) [21][22][23]. It provides the same level of cryptographic hardness as do other asymmetric cryptography protocols, but it is marked by small key sizes and higher performance [24,25].…”

Recently, many platforms have outsourced tasks to numerous smartphone devices known as Mobile Crowd-sourcing System (MCS). The data is collected and transferred to the platform for further analysis and processing. These data needs to maintain confidentiality while moving from smartphones to the platform. Moreover, the limitations of computation resources in smartphones need to be addressed to balance the confidentiality of the data and the capabilities of the devices. For this reason, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is accepted, widespread, and suitable for use in limited resources environments such as smartphone devices. ECC reduces energy consumption and maximizes devices’ efficiency by using small crypto keys with the same strength of the required cryptography of other cryptosystems. Thus, ECC is the preferred approach for many environments, including the MCS, Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Many implementations of ECC increase the process of encryption and/or increase the space overhead by, for instance, incorrectly mapping points to EC with extra padding bits. Moreover, the wrong mapping method used in ECC results in increasing the computation efforts. This study provides comprehensive details about the mapping techniques used in the ECC mapping phase, and presents performance results about widely used elliptic curves. In addition, it suggests an optimal enhanced mapping method and size of padding bit to secure communications that guarantee the successful mapping of points to EC and reduce the size of padding bits.

Summary Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widespreadly applicable for information acquisition and processing in various fields such as military, healthcare, envrionment monitoring, and so on. WSNs have three main components: sensors, gateways, and users. The sensing information from sensors is transmitted to users through gateways. However, the public wireless networks are vulnerable to malicious active and passive attacks, which could bring security and privacy issues. Numerous two‐factor based authentication and key agreement (AKA) protocols have been proposed to solve these issues, whereas these schemes still have some deficiencies. Three‐factor based authentication method can make up for the drawbacks of two‐factor based schemes. Kumari and Renuka put forward a biometrics‐based AKA for WSNs with elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). But their scheme cannot maintain anonymity and resist to impersonality attack, replay attack, and DoS attack. In this article, we propose a biometrics‐based anonymous AKA scheme, which is equipped with the covered security requirements of WSNs. Meanwhile, the proposed scheme are provably secure in the three‐party AKA security model. Performance analysis demonstrates that our scheme has better security properties, communication cost, and computational cost compared with five recent and related schemes.
