Abstract
Node authentication and key management are the two significant security services employed in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Since the growth of the devices in WSN is rapidly increasing, strong security policies should be employed to save the network from outside invaders. There is a wide range of smart applications developed in various fields such as military, health, agriculture, smart city, and many others. Since most of the applications consist of sensitive data, they should be protected to save the users’ privacy. Conventional protocols are more prone to security attacks and therefore the authors propose a secure and reliable protocol named Polynomial Authentication and Mapping Verification based Mannequin Routing (PAMVMR). This scheme involves two main processes such as Bi-level authentication and Information Processing. Bi-level authentication includes node-to-gateway authentication using polynomial key shares and node-to-node verification using mapping function that is processed through a context free grammar. Information processing includes creation of mannequin routes by applying Pascal’s triangle method and transmission of data. This makes the network more secure and reliable for data transmission from sensor nodes to a gateway node and from a gateway to users.
Highlights
Internet of Things (IoT) has become a trending area [1] recently that led to the popularity of technologies related to Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)
In order to prove the node’s original identities from malicious nodes, we propose to carry out the Bi-level authentication process in our method
To analyse the network performance of the proposed protocol, we considered the following: node trust ratio, packet delivered rate, False Node detection ratio, and energy consumption
Summary
Internet of Things (IoT) has become a trending area [1] recently that led to the popularity of technologies related to Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). WSN is widely implemented in all areas and created popular and huge IoTrelated applications [2] and so-called Smart Life. This technology development causes the disclosure of personal information that possibly affects the privacy and protection in such WSN in which people tend to enjoy their convenience. Later an upgraded authentication model was proposed [5], in which sensors act as routers and destinations. In this case, the sensors might be located between a user and gateway, and it is necessary to forward the authenticated messages to the gateway node
