“…This method is helpless to brute-force attack. 4 The usage of PRNG in this approach can help the intruder to use the short period of pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) to generate private keys. 21 In the study by Ullah et al, 5 another technique of data security for WSNs is given.…”

“…The analysis in Elhoseny et al 3 introduced a new technique named as EGASON. This approach uses ECC for a key generation 4 and then the genetic algorithm approach is used for the encryption and decoding of information. While using ECC, this approach may suffer from brute-force attack and high computation cost in comparison with symmetric key functions.…”

“…Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is used by a variety of research methods proposed. 3,4 It is also used in combination with Advance Encryption Standard (AES) by Ullah et al, 5 where the key is generated by ECC. However, AES is a block cipher algorithm, which is high in computational time depending on the size of keys and plaintext.…”

In wireless sensor networks, the sensors transfer data through radio signals to a remote base station. Sensor nodes are used to sense environmental conditions such as temperature, strain, humidity, sound, vibration, and position. Data security is a major issue in wireless sensor networks since data travel over the naturally exposed wireless channel where malicious attackers may get access to critical information. The sensors in wireless sensor networks are resource-constrained devices whereas the existing data security approaches have complex security mechanisms with high computational and response times affecting the network lifetime. Furthermore, existing systems, such as secure efficient encryption algorithm, use the Diffie–Hellman approach for key generation and exchange; however, Diffie–Hellman is highly vulnerable to the man-in-the-middle attack. This article introduces a data security approach with less computational and response times based on a modified version of Diffie–Hellman. The Diffie–Hellman has been modified to secure it against attacks by generating a hash of each value that is transmitted over the network. The proposed approach has been analyzed for security against various attacks. Furthermore, it has also been analyzed in terms of encryption/decryption time, computation time, and key generation time for different sizes of data. The comparative analysis with the existing approaches shows that the proposed approach performs better in most of the cases.

Smart architecture is the concept to manage the facilities via internet utilization in a proper manner. There are various technologies used in smart architecture such as cloud computing, internet of things, green computing, automation and fog computing. Smart medical system (SMS) is one of the application used in architecture, which is based on communication networking along with sensor devices. In SMS, a doctor provides online treatment to patients with the help of cloud-based applications such as mobile device, wireless body area network, etc. Security and privacy are the major concern of cloud-based applications in SMS. To maintain, security and privacy, we aim to design an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) based secure and efficient authentication framework for cloud-assisted SMS. There are six phases in the proposed protocol such as: patient registration phase, healthcare center upload phase, patient data upload phase, treatment phase, checkup phase and emergency phase. In CSEF, there are four entities like healthecare center, patient, cloud and doctor. In CSEF, mutual authentication establishes between healthcare center and cloud, patient and cloud, doctor and cloud, and patient and healthcare center by the using ECC and hash function. The CSEF is secure against security attacks, and satisfies many security attributes such as man-in-the-middle attack, impersonation attack, data non-repudiation, doctor anonymity, replay attack, known-key security property, message authentication, patient anonymity, data confidentiality, stolen-verifier attack, parallel session attack and session key security. Further, the CSEF is efficient in terms of computation and communication compared to others related frameworks. As a result, CSEF can be utilized in cloud-based SMS.

“…Furthermore, as the adaption of e-Healthcare increases, the need of patient-privacy should be the first priority as all the communication is taking place through public channel [6], [7]. To prevent various threats, an authentication scheme can be implemented to ensure that TMIS are only accessed by legitimate users [8]- [11]. Recently, Wu et al [12] introduced a two-factor authentication scheme by employing smart-card and password for TMIS.…”

A variety of three-factor smart-card based schemes, specifically designed for telecare medicine information systems (TMIS) are available for remote user authentication. Most of the existing schemes for TMIS are customarily proposed for the single server-based environments and in a single-server environment. Therefore, there is a need for patients to distinctly register and login with each server to employ distinct services, so it escalates the overhead of keeping the cards and memorizing the passwords for the users. Whereas, in a multi-server environment, users only need to register once to resort various services for exploiting the benefits of a multi-server environment. Recently, Barman et al. proposed an authentication scheme for e-healthcare by employing a fuzzy commitment and asserted that the scheme can endure many known attacks. Nevertheless, after careful analysis, this paper presents the shortcoming related to its design as well as it is to prove in this paper that the scheme of Barman et al. is prone to many attacks including: server impersonation, session-key leakage, user impersonation, secret temporary parameter leakage attacks as well as its lacks user anonymity. Moreover, their scheme has the scalability issue. In order to mitigate the aforementioned issues, this work proposes an amended three-factor symmetric-key based secure authentication and key agreement scheme for multi-server environments (ITSSAKA-MS). The security of ITSSAKA-MS is proved formally under automated tool AVISPA along with a security feature discussion. Although, the proposed scheme requisites additional communication and computation costs, but the informal and automated formal security analysis indicate that only proposed scheme withstands several known attacks as compared with recent schemes.
