Comments on He et al.’s Robust Biometric-based User Authentication Scheme for WSNs
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to guarantee secure communication for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), many user authentication schemes have successfully drawn researchers’ attention and been studied widely. In 2012, He et al. proposed a robust biometric-based user authentication scheme for WSNs. However, this paper demonstrates that He et al.’s scheme has some drawbacks: poor reparability problem, user impersonation attack, and sensor node impersonate attack. Keywords—Security, authentication, biometrics, poor reparability, impersonation attack, wireless sensor networks.
