Abstract
In hierarchical wireless sensor networks (H-WSNs), adaptive user authentication scheme has attracted significantly for the purposes of mutual authentication, session key establishment and resiliency to the attacks, like impersonation, parallel-session and password guessing. Several user authentication schemes have been proposed recently; though the schemes have had many potential vulnerabilities, such as key-impersonation, user anonymity, eavesdropping and masquerade. Thus, this paper proposes secure-cum-efficient mutual adaptive user authentication (S-Cum-EMAUA) scheme for practical use in H-WSNs. The scheme of S-Cum-EMAUA) is not only resilient to the most of the potential attacks, but also provides mutual authentication, user anonymity and session-key establishment. In addition, the proposed scheme is well secured, since it has the usage of the hash-function and X-OR operation.
