Security Enhanced User Authentication Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Elliptic Curves Cryptography

Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensors, gateways and users. Sensors are widely distributed to monitor various conditions, such as temperature, sound, speed and pressure but they have limited computational ability and energy. To reduce the resource use of sensors and enhance the security of WSNs, various user authentication protocols have been proposed. In 2011, Yeh et al. first proposed a user authentication protocol based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for WSNs. However, it turned out that Y… Show more

“…The first one is the weakness or none of user anonymity [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], which would cause being tracked easily. The second one is information leakage of the lost smart card [3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], which causes the attacker can do guesswork in a smaller space after extracting the information in the smart card. The third one is security recovery when system secret information is revealed [3, 5 -12], in which case, the system cannot update secret information conveniently because all users must register again.…”

“…Thus, only the gateway could learn the identities. As for the shared key between user and sensor, in some schemes, the gateway knows the shared key in schemes [6][7][8][11][12][13][14], while, in some others, the gateway does not know the key, they use Diffie-Hellman (DH) anonymous key agreement protocol to build the shared key [1,2,4,5,9,30]. As we have discussed, the gateway is not allowed to know the shared key in order to prevent a curious gateway from eavesdropping the sensor data.…”
