“…Nevertheless, Amin et al found some problems in the solution of Farash et al such as offline password guessing attack via stolen smart card, new smart card issue attack, and user impersonation attack known as session‐specific information attack . However, Arasteh et al mounted replay attack and denial‐of‐service (Dos) attack analysis on authentication phase of the protocol of Amin et al This paper will make a further analysis on the solution of Farash et al and show that it does not provide perfect forward secrecy and suffer from sensor node anonymity problem, sensor node impersonation, and overhead on secure channel.…”

A characteristic of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) different from traditional networks is that WSNs are vulnerable to various types of attacks because of their distinctive features, involving distributed and nomadic attribute, wireless transmission medium, and lack of centralized infrastructure of security protection. Recently, Kumari et al presented a mutual authentication and key agreement scheme for WSNs using chaotic maps. Unfortunately, we find that the scheme of Kumari et al cannot resist sensor node capture attack, session‐specific temporary information attack, sensor node impersonation attack, and man‐in‐the‐middle attack. To overcome the security weaknesses in the solution of Kumari et al, this paper introduces a secure and efficient mutual authentication and key agreement scheme for heterogeneous ad hoc WSNs in fully public channel. Consequently, compared with the solution of Kumari et al, while providing relatively higher level of security and more security features, the proposed solution remains a favorable performance on communication overhead, computation overhead, and storage overhead separately.

“…In 2016, Farash et al proposed a lightweight protocol using hash functions to overcome the limitations of the scheme . However, Amin et al found some security weaknesses in the scheme such as impersonation attack and offline password guessing attack.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have its applications in many domains such as agriculture, medicine, safety, and industry. Due to its wireless channel, it is vulnerable to many security threats. To provide end‐to‐end secure communication, various authentication and key agreement protocols have been discussed. Recently, Li et al have designed a mutual authentication and key agreement protocol for WSNs. However, it is found that this scheme does not resist to offline password guessing, device stolen, insider, and replay attacks besides user traceability problem. In this paper, a mutual authentication and key agreement protocol by overcoming the deficiencies of their scheme is proposed. Its formal security verification is shown using ProVerif tool. Its performance analysis is presented in terms of communication cost, computational cost, storage cost, and security features along with the other related schemes. It offers more security features than the other related schemes.

“…In 2013, Chu et al [23] proposed an identity authentication scheme based on elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC), which innovatively used the encryption algorithm of public-private key pair to satisfy the security requirements of heterogeneous network. In 2016, Amin et al [24] came up with a three-factor authenticated key agreement scheme for IoT and claimed that their scheme was secure. However, Arasteh et al [25] showed that the scheme of Amin et al was prone to replay attacks and DOS attacks.…”

Today, Internet of Things (IoT) technology is being increasingly popular which is applied in a wide range of industry sectors such as healthcare, transportation and some critical infrastructures. With the widespread applications of IoT technology, people's lives have changed dramatically. Due to its capabilities of sensitive data-aware, information collection, communication and processing, it raises security and privacy concerns. Moreover, a malicious attacker may impersonate a legitimate user, which may cause security threat and violation privacy. In allusion to the above problems, we propose a novel and lightweight anonymous authentication and key agreement scheme for heterogeneous IoT, which is innovatively designed to shift between the public key infrastructure (PKI) and certificateless cryptography (CLC) environment. The proposed scheme not only achieves secure communication among the legal authorized users, but also possesses more attributes with user anonymity, non-repudiation and key agreement fairness. Through the security analysis, it is proved that the proposed scheme can resist replay attacks and denial of service (DOS) attacks. Finally, the performance evaluation demonstrates that our scheme is more lightweight and innovative.
