The growth in wireless services indicates the importance of wireless networks. Parameters in domains Speci c Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based applications such as infrastructure, physiological and activity monitoring are using the wireless services. Inactivity monitoring, the home care and hospital care Wireless IoT sensors devices continuously monitor and collect data. So, these devices consume lots of energy. With secure data transmission, the limited energy supply is the central issue in-home care and hospital care applications. This research focuses on restricted-energy utilization while monitoring users' postural activity information in homecare and hospital-care applications using IoT-based WSN devices (sensors). In this research, the Rank Based Energy E cient key management (RBE-EKM) protocol is designed to discover an energy-e cient approach to transfer the sensor's data to the Base Station (BS). Initially, it assigns higher priority to the sensor nodes based on their emergency interrupt signals, and the shared key is allocated foremost to those prioritized nodes. This ranking key method establishes the secure routing path for these sensor nodes by verifying their shared secret key. The shared key-based security scheme is found in this research to prevent the WSN from node compromising attacks. The simulation analysis of the RBE-EKM protocol model shows that real-time data is successfully shared among the group of privileged Base Stations with minimum power consumption, delay, and throughput. Moreover, the experimental result proves that the proposed communication strategy, such as dynamic retransmit or rebroadcast decision control, signi cantly improves the performance of AODV protocol models.

“…2.1.9 Optimal and secure routing protocol. The proposed protocol by Lazrag et al in Lazrag et al (2018) is a source-initiated protocol, which means that it does not depend on forming a routing table to route traffic. This type of protocol establishes a route from source to destination on demand, maintains it as long as the session is required and then terminates it.…”

“…Also, their energy consumption is lower than RSA algorithms, which makes them a good fit for WSNs. Lazrag et al (2018) proposed to use ECDSA to authenticate their proposed routing protocol. It has been mentioned in Bernstein et al (2012) that ECDSA has a vulnerability related to its use of a pseudorandom generator to generate secret session keys to sign a given message, which can lead to generating a key for two different messages.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the latest research related to secure routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and propose a new approach that can achieve a higher security level compared to the existing one. One of the main security issues in WSNs is the security of routing protocols. A typical WSN consists of a large number of small size, low-power, low-cost sensor devices. These devices are very resource-constrained and usually use cheap short-range radios to communicate with each other in an ad hoc fashion thus, achieving security in these networks is a big challenge, which is open for research. Design/methodology/approach The route updates and data messages of the protocol are authenticated using Edwards-curves Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA). Routing protocols play an essential role in WSNs, they ensure the delivery of the sensed data from the remote sensor nodes to back-end systems via a data sink. Routing protocols depend on route updates received from neighboring nodes to determine the best path to the sink. Manipulating these updates by inserting rouge nodes in the network that advertise false updates can lead to a catastrophic impact on the compromised WSN performance. Findings As a result, a new secure energy-aware routing protocol (SEARP) is proposed, which uses security enhanced clustering algorithm and EdDSA to authenticate route advertisements and messages. A secure clustering algorithm is also used as part of the proposed protocol to conserve energy, prolong network lifetime and counteract wormhole attacks. Originality/value In this paper, a SEARP is proposed to address network layer security attacks in WSNs. A secure clustering algorithm is also used as part of the proposed protocol to conserve energy, prolong network lifetime and counteract wormhole attacks. A simulation has been carried out using Sensoria Simulator and the performance evaluation has been discussed.

“…It is based on the algebraic structure that uses finite keys. It was firstly proposed in 1985 but has gained importance in current years due to its security strength and key size comparison to other public key security algorithms [12]. ElGamal is a public key cryptography technique proposed by Taher ElGamal and is based on Deffie Hellman Key Exchange (DHKE).…”

A Lightweight Elliptic-Elgamal-Based Authentication Scheme for Secure Device-to-Device Communication

Device-to-Device (D2D) is a major part of 5G that will facilitate deployments with extended coverage where devices can act as users or relays. These relays normally act as decode and forward relays (semi-intelligent devices) with limited computational and storage capabilities. However, introducing such a technology, where users can act as relays, presents a wide range of security threats, in particular, rogue relay devices or man in the middle attacks (M-I-T-M). Second, passing fewer control messages is always advisable when considering authenticity and secrecy. To mitigate M-I-T-M and to reduce communication costs, this paper presents a lightweight elliptic-ElGamal-based authentication scheme using PKI (FHEEP) in D2D communication. Pollard’s rho and Baby Step, Giant Step (BSGS) methods are used to evaluate the authenticity and secrecy of our proposed scheme. The communication cost is calculated based on the comparative analysis indicating that our proposed scheme outperforms the baseline protocol. The proposed scheme can be used for any infrastructure architecture that will enhance the security of any D2D settings with better performance.
