User Authentication with Session Key Interchange for Wireless Sensor Network

Methodologies and Application Issues of Contemporary Computing Framework

Abstract

Secure user authentication is an indispensable issue in wireless sensor network (WSN) as the sensor nodes are deployed in public environment. In 2014, Nam et al. proposed their scheme in this regard. This manuscript highlights several limitations of Nam et al. protocol such as denial of service, no login phase verification, clock synchronization problem, improper mutual authentication, key-compromised impersonation and man-in-the-middle attack, and unverified password update phase. Hence, we put forward an efficient two-factor user authentication with session key interchange protocol for WSN (ASKI-WSN) based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to overcome these limitations. The proposed ASKI-WSN scheme is informally verified under several security threats and formally validated using widely accepted automated validation of Internet security protocols and applications (AVISPA) tool. Finally, the performance analysis of our ASKI-WSN scheme in terms of security and computation cost shows its efficiency for practical applications as compared to some existing protocols.
