User Authentication with Distributed Cluster Formation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering(2014)
Abstract
Security is an important aspect of any system and its development has enhanced widespread adoption of WSNs. In a typical situation, user wants to access the data directly from a node instead of accessing at the gateway or at the backend of an application system. Therefore, it is necessary that such an access is allowed only to a registered user. We present a user authentication scheme with distributed cluster formation in WSNs. This scheme works as a ring structure and uses one-way communication. In our protocol, three distinct components, gateway, user, and node, can mutually authenticate each other. In addition, we use S/Key algorithm as one-time password for authentication. Our analysis shows that our proposed scheme is as robust as conventional 4-way authentication scheme, while the communication overhead is substantially decreased.
