“…The Dynamic Authentication Credential (DAC) has been the subject of extensive study in recent years due to its proven ability to increase authentication security. A secure authentication approach for WSNs was devised by Liu et al [4] using DAC and Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX). Since DAC rotation is not provided by alternative DAC authentication methods, this one is essential for preventing the asynchronous update problem caused by packet loss.…”

“…A sensor node, designed as a small, low-power device, is tasked with data acquisition. The inherent limitations of their batteries render the nodes with finite storage, memory, and processing capabilities, thereby increasing their susceptibility to security breaches [4]. Energy conservation within WSNs is paramount, as the network lifetimethe duration from deployment until the depletion of the first node's energy -directly impacts the effectiveness and longevity of the network [5].…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) present a paradigm that is both innovative and complex, characterized by their autonomous operation and the deployment of diminutive, resource-constrained sensor nodes. Despite the promising prospects offered by their unique features, WSNs are inherently more susceptible to security threats compared to conventional networks, primarily due to their operational environment and reliance on wireless communication. The vulnerability of nodes to physical attacks is exacerbated by the typical deployment strategies and the intrinsic limitations of radio connections. Due to the resource-scarce nature of sensor nodes, which are often situated in adversarial settings, security measures are particularly challenging to implement. These nodes are generally equipped with limited energy, computational power, and communication capabilities, imposing significant constraints on the safeguarding of WSNs without compromising network efficiency. The identification and isolation of compromised nodes are critical to prevent adversaries from disseminating false data throughout the network. However, securing networks with a flat topology poses considerable difficulties, including limited adaptability and excessive communication overheads. Traditional security methods, which typically entail substantial overhead and computational requirements, are not viable in such resource-constrained environments. Authentication emerges as a critical security measure, serving as a means to discern authentic, forged, or altered messages. This study introduces a novel Digital Incontrovertible Multi-Level Key Set based Node Authentication Model (DIMLKS-NA-MND) that leverages cryptographic principles to enhance data transmission security in WSNs. Comparative analyses demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms existing models in securing data transmissions.

“…However, after analyzing Das's scheme, some scholars [9][10][11] find that it has some security vulnerabilities, such as offline password guessing attack, node capture attack, lack of user anonymity, insider attack, and user impersonation attack and so on, and they put forward their improved schemes. It is worth noting that although different authentication protocols have been proposed in the WSN environment as shown in the literatures [12][13][14][15]63], Wang et al [16] point out that these schemes and similar protocols based on password and smartcard basically cannot meet the security requirements of WSN and they suffer from smartcard loss attack, which may lead to unexpected serious consequences. In order to better assess the security of the authentication scheme in the WSN environment in the industrial field, Wang et al, also put forward some evaluation criteria [17].…”

Wireless sensor network has been widely used and plays a vital role in the Internet of Things, smart cities, military, and other fields, and its security has also attracted the attention of many researchers. In view of the security defects in Shin and Kwon's scheme such as failure to provide three-factor security, lack of anonymity and untraceability, user impersonation attack, desynchronization attack and privileged insider attack, we suggest an improved provably secure three-factor user authentication scheme based on Chebyshev chaotic mapping for wireless sensor network, which employs fuzzy verifier technique to prevent attacker from offline guessing attack on user identity and password when the stolen/lost smartcard is acquired by the attacker. During the authentication phase, a dynamic identity mechanism is used to ensure the anonymity of the user and sensor to prevent desynchronization attack, and the Chebyshev chaotic mapping is introduced to improve security and reduce computation overhead. The rigorous security proof under the random oracle model and the formal verification via ProVerif show that our protocol overcomes the weaknesses in Shin and Kwon's scheme. In addition, by comparing the performance of our proposed scheme with that of others, we demonstrate that our proposal not only solves the security risks of Shin and Kwon.'s protocol, but also achieves a better tradeoff between security and efficiency, therefore, it is more suitable for user authentication in wireless sensor network environments.

“…Due to the above security challenges of the IoV environment, researchers are committed to enhancing the security of the IoV. Therefore, a hardware-based, trusted execution environment called software guard extensions (SGX) [17][18][19] has emerged. SGX is secure hardware developed by Intel.…”

“…In addition, SGX provides a trusted execution environment, as malicious code cannot access or tamper with any sensitive data stored in SGX, guaranteeing data confidentiality and integrity.

With the maturity and popularization of the Internet of Things, we saw the emergence of the Internet of Vehicles. This collects and processes real-time traffic information, alleviates traffic congestion, and realizes intelligent transportation. However, sensitive information, such as real-time driving data of vehicles, are transmitted on public channels, which are easily to steal and manipulate for attackers. In addition, vehicle communications are vulnerable to malicious attacks. Therefore, it is essential to design secure and efficient protocols. Many studies have adopted asymmetric cryptosystems and fog computing to in this environment, but most of them do not reflect the advantages of fog nodes, which share the computational burden of cloud servers. Therefore, it is challenging to design a protocol that effectively uses fog nodes. In this paper, we design an authentication protocol based on a symmetric encryption algorithm and fog computing in the Internet of Vehicles. In this protocol, we first propose a four-layer architecture that significantly reduces the computational burden of cloud servers. To resist several well-known attacks, we also apply Intel software guard extensions to our protocol. This is because it can resist privileged insider attacks. We prove the security of the proposed protocol through the Real-Or-Random model and informal analysis. We also compare the performance of the proposed protocol with recent protocols. The results show better security and a lower computational cost.
