On the design of secure user authenticated key management scheme for multigateway‐based wireless sensor networks using ECC

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), there are many critical applications (for example, healthcare, vehicle tracking, and battlefield), where the online streaming data generated from different sensor nodes need to be analyzed with respect to quick control decisions. However, as the data generated by these sensor nodes usually flow through open channel, so there are higher chances of various types of attacks either on the nodes or on to the data captured by these nodes. In this paper, we aim to design a new elliptic curve cryptography–based user authenticated key agreement protocol in a hierarchical WSN so that a legal user can only access the streaming data from generated from different sensor nodes. The proposed scheme is based upon 3‐factor authentication, as it applies smart card, password, and personal biometrics of a user (for ticket generation). The proposed scheme maintains low computation cost for resource‐constrained sensor nodes, as it uses efficient 1‐way cryptographic hash function and bitwise exclusive‐OR operations for secure key establishment between different sensor nodes. The security analysis using the broadly accepted Burrows‐Abadi‐Needham logic, formal security verification using the popular simulation tool (automated validation of Internet security protocols and applications), and informal security show that the proposed scheme is resilient against several well‐known attacks needed for a user authentication scheme in WSNs. The comparison of security and functionality requirements, communication and computation costs of the proposed scheme, and other related existing user authentication schemes shows the superior performance of the proposed scheme.

Topological Key Hierarchy for Energy-Efficient Group Key Management in Wireless Sensor Networks

A sensor network operating in open environments requires a network-wide group key for confidentiality of exchanged messages between sensor nodes. When a node behaves abnormally due to its malfunction or a compromise attack by adversaries, the central sink node should update the group key of other nodes. The major concern of this group key update procedure will be the multi-hop communication overheads of the rekeying messages due to the energy constraints of sensor nodes. Many researchers have tried to reduce the number of rekeying messages by using the logical key tree. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient group key management scheme called Topological Key Hierarchy (TKH). TKH generates a key tree by using the underlying sensor network topology with consideration of subtree-based key tree separation and wireless multicast advantage. Based on our detailed analysis and simulation study, we compare the total rekeying costs of our scheme with the previous logical key tree schemes and demonstrate its energy efficiency.

A Secure Key Predistribution Scheme for WSN Using Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an upcoming research field which is quite different from traditional network security mechanisms. Many applications are dependent on the secure operation of a WSN, and have serious effects if the network is disrupted. Therefore, it is necessary to protect communication between sensor nodes. Key management plays an essential role in achieving security in WSNs. To achieve security, various key predistribution schemes have been proposed in the literature. A secure key management technique in WSN is a real challenging task. In this paper, a novel approach to the above problem by making use of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is presented. In the proposed scheme, a seed key, which is a distinct point in an elliptic curve, is assigned to each sensor node prior to its deployment. The private key ring for each sensor node is generated using the point doubling mathematical operation over the seed key. When two nodes share a common private key, then a link is established between these two nodes. By suitably choosing the value of the prime field and key ring size, the probability of two nodes sharing the same private key could be increased. The performance is evaluated in terms of connectivity and resilience against node capture. The results show that the performance is better for the proposed scheme with ECC compared to the other basic schemes.     

Secure and Energy-Efficient Traffic-Aware Key Management Scheme for Wireless Sensor Network

In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), a sensor node may communicate with a small set of neighbor sensor nodes. Existing key management schemes, did not consider this communication between these nodes. They establish shared keys for all pairs of neighbor sensor nodes. When the number of sensor nodes in WSN is augmented, large number of keys is to be loaded in each sensor node, which in turn causes supplementary energy consumption. If any two close sensor nodes are seldom in the active-state the assignment of shared keys may be gratuitous, since they may be hardly exploited.In this paper, based on this information, secure and Energy-Efficient Traffic Aware key Management (EETKM) is developed for WSN. This determines shared keys for active sensors which takes part in the direct communication. In order to broadcast keys without retransmission or acknowledgements, the proposed scheme gives an efficient Re-keying mechanism. The proposed scheme attains high connectivity which is shown through numerical results. The proposed scheme is applied for various routing protocols and the simulation results shows the stronger resilience, low energy consumption and increased delivery ratio.     

无线传感器网络中一种基于公钥的密钥分配方案

抵抗Sybil攻击的无线传感网中网络分布式密钥管理方案

Wireless sensor network nodes (WSN nodes) have limited computing power, storage capacity, communication capabilities and energy and WSN nodes are easy to be paralyzed by Sybil attack. In order to prevent Sybil attacks, a new key distribution scheme for wireless sensor networks is presented. In this scheme, the key information and node ID are associated, and then the attacker is difficult to forge identity ID and the key information corresponding to ID can not be forged. This scheme can use low-power to resist the Sybil attack and give full play to the resource advantages of the cluster head. The computing, storage and communication is mainly undertaken by the cluster head overhead to achieve the lowest energy consumption and resist against nodes capture attack. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that compared with the traditional scheme presented in Ref. [14], the capture rate of general nodes of cluster reduces 40% , and the capture rate of cluster heads reduces 50% . So the scheme presented in this paper can improve resilience against nodes capture attack and reduce node power consumption.     

Fast Response PKC-Based Broadcast Authentication in Wireless Sensor Networks

Public Key-based (PKC) approaches have gained popularity in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) broadcast authentication due to their simpler protocol operations, e.g., no synchronization and higher tolerance to node capture attack compared to symmetric key-based approaches. With PKC??s security strength, a sensor node that authenticates messages before forwarding them can detect a bogus message within the first hop. While this prevents forged traffic from wasting the sensor nodes?? energy, performing PKC operations in the limited computing-power sensor nodes can result in undesirably long message propagation time. At the other extreme, the sensor node can forward messages to other nodes prior to authenticating them. This approach diminishes propagation time with the trade-off of allowing forged messages to propagate through the network. To achieve swift and energy efficient broadcast operation, sensor nodes need to decide wisely when to forward first and when to authenticate first. In this paper, we present two new broadcast authentication schemes, called the key pool scheme and the key chain scheme, to solve this dilemma without any synchronization or periodic key redistribution. Both schemes utilize a Bloom filter and the distribution of secret keys among sensor nodes to create fast and capture-resistant PKC-based broadcast authentication protocols. Our NS-2 simulation results for a 3,000-node WSN confirm that broadcast delays of our protocol are only 46.7% and 39.4% slower than the forwarding-first scheme for the key pool and the key chain scheme respectively. At the same time, both protocols are an order of magnitude faster than the authentication-first scheme. The key pool scheme is able to keep forged message propagation to the minimal even when the majority of the nodes have been captured by the attacker. The key chain scheme has smaller transmission overhead than the key pool scheme at the expense of less resistance to node capturing. Two generic improvements to these schemes are also described. One reduces the marking limit on the Bloom filter vector (BFV), which makes it more difficult for an attacker to forge a BFV for a bogus message. The other limits broadcast forwarding to a spanning tree, which reduces the number of nodes forwarding bogus messages by one to two orders of magnitude depending on the percentage of compromised nodes. The first improvement can be applied to any BFV scheme, while the second is even more generally applicable.
