PAWN: a payload-based mutual authentication scheme for wireless sensor networks

A TESLA-based mutual authentication protocol for GSM networks

The widespread use of wireless cellular networks has made security an ever increasing concern. GSM is the most popular wireless cellular standard, but security is an issue. The most critical weakness in the GSM protocol is the use of one-way entity authentication, i.e., only the mobile station is authenticated by the network. This creates many security problems including vulnerability against m...

A Temporal Credential-Based Mutual Authentication with Multiple-Password Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which consist of a large number of sensor nodes, have become among the most important technologies in numerous fields, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, control systems in nuclear reactors, vehicle safety systems, and medical monitoring. The most serious drawback for the widespread application of WSNs is the lack of security. Given the res...

Weaknesses of Temporal Credential-Based Mutual Authentication with a Multiple-Password Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks are significant technologies in various fields. For example, they are used for monitoring dangerous places, medical and environmental monitoring, and military surveillance. Various studies have focused on the authentication scheme for wireless sensor networks. However, it is difficult to achieve perfect security performance and low overhead. Liu et al. proposed a scheme...

Robust biometric-based user authentication scheme for wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are applied widely a variety of areas such as realtime traffic monitoring, measurement of seismic activity, wildlife monitoring and so on. User authentication in WSNs is a critical security issue due to their unattended and hostile deployment in the field. In 2010, Yuan et al. proposed the first biometric-based user authentication scheme for WSNs. However, Yoon e...
