Efficient and secure three-party mutual authentication key agreement protocol for WSNs in IoT environments

Chi‐Tung Chen, Cheng‐Chi Lee, Iuon‐Chang Lin

In the Internet of Things (IoT), numerous devices can interact with each other over the Internet. A wide range of IoT applications have already been deployed, such as transportation systems, healthcare systems, smart buildings, smart factories, and smart cities. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play crucial roles in these IoT applications. Researchers have published effective (but not entirely secure) approaches for merging WSNs into IoT environments. In IoT environments, the security effectiveness of remote user authentication is crucial for information transmission. Computational efficiency and energy consumption are crucial because the energy available to any WSN is limited. This paper proposes a notably efficient and secure authentication scheme based on temporal credential and dynamic ID for WSNs in IoT environments. The Burrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN) logic method was used to validate our scheme. Cryptanalysis revealed that our scheme can overcome the security weaknesses of previously published schemes. The security functionalities and performance efficiency of our scheme are compared with those of previous related schemes. The result demonstrates that our scheme's security functionalities are quantitatively and qualitatively superior to those of comparable schemes. Our scheme can improve the effectiveness of authentication in IoT environments. Notably, our scheme has superior performance efficiency, low computational cost, frugal energy consumption, and low communication cost.

A Secure and Improved Authentication Scheme for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks in the Internet of Things Environment

Hamidreza Yazdanpanah, Mahdi Azizi, Seyed Morteza Pournaghi

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) is turning common conceptions of the current Internet into a dream of smart objects that communicate with each other. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play an important role in such an environment, since they include a wide range of applications. Researchers are already working on how WSN can be effectively integrated into the IoT environment. One part of the integration is the security aspect. In recent years, Farash et al. proposed an efficient user authentication and key agreement scheme for Heterogeneous WSN (HWSN) tailored for the IoT environment. Although their scheme is efficient, we found that this scheme is vulnerable to several cryptographic attacks. This paper first demonstrates all security weaknesses of the Farash et al.'s scheme and then proposes a secure and improved mutual authentication and key agreement scheme.
