“…However, the performance results showed that the scheme holds equivalent ground in terms of computation time, energy consumptions, computational cost, and storage overheads. Moreover, on scrutinizing further, we unleashed few vulnerabilities in Kompara et al [9] like sensor node impersonation, base-station, and Intermediate Node (IN) compromise attacks and offered solutions to these vulnerabilities in one of our earlier works, Rehman et al [10]. In the work of Rehman et al, we offered an enhanced scheme by providing not only the solution of identified vulnerabilities but also made architectural level vital changes in the original scheme.…”

The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) plays a pivotal role in providing ubiquitous computing and has applications in different fields, especially in health monitoring. The advancement in wearable devices has revolutionized the concept of medical services and brought ease to our daily lives. However, the latent threat imposed by attackers has increased concerns related to the security and privacy of patient's data due to the open nature of the wireless network. The authentication schemes are used to secure patient's critical data from different types of cyber-attacks. In this paper, we extend our previous work by presenting an anonymous, hybrid authentication scheme that utilized physiological signals in combination with a lightweight cryptographic method to provide robust security against well-known attacks especially key escrow, base station compromise, and untraceability of sessions. The broadly accepted BAN logic is utilized to offer formal proof of mutual authentication and key agreement. The informal verification is performed by the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocol and Applications (AVISPA) tool. Furthermore, the comparative analysis of the proposed scheme with peer work highlighted that it accomplished better security at low computational, communicational, energy consumption, and storage overheads.

LiSP-XK: Extended Light-Weight Signcryption for IoT in Resource-Constrained Environments

et al. 2021

There is an increasing drive to provide improved levels of trust within an Internet-of-Things (IoTs) environments, but the devices and sensors used tend to be limited in their capabilities for dealing with traditional cryptography methods. Resource constraints and security are often the two major concerns of IIoT (Industrial IoT applications and big data generation at the present time. The strict security measures are often not significantly resource-managed and therefore, negotiation normally takes place between these. Following this, various light-weight versions of generic security primitives have been developed for IIoT and other resource-constrained sustainability. In this paper, we address the authentication concerns for resource-constrained environments by designing an efficient authentication protocol. Our authentication scheme is based on LiSP (light-weight Signcryption Protocol); however, some further customization has been performed on it to make it more suitable for IIoT-like resource-constrained environments. We use Keccack as the hash function in the process and Elli for light-weight public-key cryptography. We name our authentication scheme: Extended light-weight Signcryption Protocol with Keccack (LiSP-XK). The paper outlines a comparative analysis on our new design of authentication against a range of state-of-the-art schemes. We find the suitability of LiSP-XK for IIoT like environments due to its lesser complexity and less energy consumption. Moreover, the signcryption process is also beneficial in enhancing security. Overall the paper shows that LiSP-XK is overall 35% better in efficiency as compared to the other signcryption approaches.

Objective: To review different key agreement schemes which are used to establish Wireless body area network (WBAN) on the basis of identified attacks and also evaluate the schemes on performance parameters. Method: In this paper, an overview of WBAN, its architecture, difference between WSN and WBAN, IEEE 802.15.6 specifications of WBAN, attacks in the environment and security essentials are discussed at first. It further divides the key agreement schemes into four classes and provides an extensive review of the schemes on the basis of distinct parameters viz.
