One-pass authenticated key establishment protocol on bilinear pairings for Wireless Sensor Networks (original) (raw)
Related papers
Due to resource constraints and unique features of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), designing a key establishment protocol is much harder for WSNs than for traditional wired and wireless counterparts. In this paper, we propose a new efficient and secure ID-based one-pass authenticated key establishment protocol between an outside user and a sensor node. The proposed protocol does not require sensor nodes to compute any expensive pairing function. Moreover, it imposes very light computational and communication overheads and also provides scalability. We analyze security and efficiency of the proposed protocol by comparing firstly the session key establishment protocols for WSNs and secondly the existing ID-based one-pass key establishment protocols. The comparison shows that the proposed protocol is the most secure and efficient one for WSNs applications providing both security features of user authentication and session key establishment.
Authenticated Multiple-Key Establishment Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
Achievements and Trends, 2014
The article proposes a provably secure authenticated multiple key establishment protocol for Wireless Sensor Network. Security of the protocol is based on the computational infeasiblity of solving Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem and Computational Diffie-Hellman Problem on Bilinear Pairing. User authentication is a one of the most challenging security requirement in wireless sensor networks (WSN). It is required to establish the correct session key between two adjacent nodes of WSNs to achieve this security goal. Here we prove that, the proposed protocol is secure against the attack on data integrity and known key security attack on session key. It also provides perfect forward secrecy.
A Bilinear Pairing-Based Dynamic Key Management and Authentication for Wireless Sensor Networks
Journal of Sensors, 2015
In recent years, wireless sensor networks have been used in a variety of environments; a wireless network infrastructure, established to communicate and exchange information in a monitoring area, has also been applied in different environments. However, for sensitive applications, security is the paramount issue. In this paper, we propose using bilinear pairing to design dynamic key management and authentication scheme of the hierarchical sensor network. We use the dynamic key management and the pairing-based cryptography (PBC) to establish the session key and the hash message authentication code (HMAC) to support the mutual authentication between the sensors and the base station. In addition, we also embed the capability of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to cluster nodes to find the best path of the sensor network. The proposed scheme can also provide the requisite security of the dynamic key management, mutual authentication, and session key protection. Our scheme can defend ...
A Scalable ID-Based Pairwise Key Establishment Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
2007
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained much attention due to large number of applications. The WSN systems are usually deployed in hostile environments where they encountered a wide variety of malicious attacks. In order to protect the transmitted messages between any two adjacent sensor nodes, a mutual authentication and key exchange protocol is required for wireless sensor networks. Because some nature restrictions of sensor nodes which include low power, less storage space, low computation ability and short communication range, most existing protocols attempt to establish a pairwise key between any two adjacent sensor nodes by adopting a key pre-distribution approach. However, this approach has some inherent drawbacks. With rapid growth of cryptographic techniques, recent results show that Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is suitable for resource-limited WSNs. In this paper, we propose a scalable ID-based pairwise key establishment protocol that allows a sensor node can est...
Certificate-Based Pairwise Key Establishment Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
2013 IEEE 16th International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering, 2013
In order to guarantee the privacy and safety of data transactions in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), secure key transportation and unique node identification have become major concerns. WSNs are deployed in a wide range of applications with a high demand for secure communications. When designing a secure key management protocol for WSNs, special attention should be given to the resource constraints of the devices and the scalability of the network. In this paper, we exploit public-key nature protocols to define a hybrid key establishment algorithm for symmetric key cryptography. We propose an Elliptic Curve Cryptography based implicit certificate scheme and show how to utilize the certificates for deriving pair-wise link keys in a WSN. By a performance and security analysis, we justify that the proposed scheme is well fitting with the functional and architectural features of WSNs. Both experimental results and theoretical analysis show that the proposed key establishment protocol is viable to deploy in a real-time WSN application.
Private Communication and Authentication Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
2008 New Technologies, Mobility and Security, 2008
Key management is a key concern for security operation in sensor network. Most existing key management schemes try to establish shared keys for all pairs of neighbor sensors, no matter whether these nodes communicate with each other or not, and causes large overhead. In this paper, we propose a novel key agreement protocol based on pairing-based cryptography. The proposed protocol reduces the key spaces of the nodes, in fact nodes do not need to store any key of the other nodes rather it computes secret sharing key by using pairing and identity based properties. Security analysis shows it robust against different attacks such as masquerade attack, wormhole attack, selective forwarding attack and message manipulation attack.
Authenticated key exchange protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
2016
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) suffer from many constraints including lower processing power, low battery life and small memory. Security turns into the primary concern to manage in such sort of systems as customary Public key cryptography (PKC) algorithms are computionaly expensive and hence not feasible for WSN. As key exchange is significant in every cryptographic primitive, requirement for a proficient and secure key exchange gets to be imperative. In this paper, an authenticated key exchange algorithm based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has been presented for wireless sensor networks. The algorithm builds up a mutual key between two communicating nodes in an authenticated manner. The protocol is resistant against Man in the Middle Attack. The Shared Key can further be utilized for achieving any cryptographic service like authentication, Confidentiality etc. The developed protocol has been simulated in TinyOS using Tossim simulator. The protocol has also been run on MicaZ ...
Tools A new key establishment Scheme for wireless sensor networks
Traditional key management techniques, such as public key cryptography or key distribution center (e.g., Kerberos), are often not effective for wireless sensor networks for the serious limitations in terms of computational power, energy supply, network bandwidth. In order to balance the security and efficiency,we propose a new scheme by employing LU Composition techniques for mutual authenticated pairwise key establishment and integrating LU Matrix with Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman for anonymous pathkey establishment. At the meantime, it is able to achieve efficient group key agreement and management. Analysis shows that the new scheme has better performance and provides authenticity and anonymity for sensor to establish multiple kinds of keys, compared with previous related works.
A Pair-wise Key Establishment for Wireless Sensor Networks
2009 Fifth International Conference on Intelligent Information Hiding and Multimedia Signal Processing, 2009
Random key pre-distribution scheme is a flexible key management scheme for wireless sensor networks. Recently, numerous related studies have been proposed. However, most of them have weaknesses. First of all, sensors require large storage to store keys in order to maintain high connectivity. Secondly, impact caused by compromised sensors cannot be completely eliminated. In this paper, a novel pair-wise key establishment scheme based on the combination is proposed. Impact of key exposure from compromised sensors can be ignored since the pair-wise key for each pair of sensors is unique. Most significantly, we achieve the merit of fully connectivity without increasing storage requirement of sensors.
