“…Table 3 lists the estimated time of the mentioned protocols, considering the above experimental data. From this table, we may observe that the repaired protocol costs more time than Li's protocol [4] as it takes six more hash functions, but costs less time than the other related protocols [10][11][12]14] . …”

“…According to the previously reported works, e.g., [3,4], the authentication key agreement protocol of the WBAN shall provide the data secrecy, user anonymity, session unlinkability, mutual authentication, forward secrecy, resilient to online/offline dictionary attack, resilient to replay attack, and resilient to man-in-the-middle attack. Due to a few reasons, we should not use generic authentication key agreement protocols [5] or lightweight protocols for the general purpose short distance communications [6] in WBANs.…”

Abstract:The advancement of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) have led to significant progress in medical and health care systems. However, such networks still suffer from major security and privacy threats, especially for the data collected in medical or health care applications. Lack of security and existence of anonymous communication in WBAN brings about the operation failure of these networks. Recently, Li et al. proposed a lightweight protocol for wearable sensors in wireless body area networks. In their paper, the authors claimed that the protocol may provide anonymous mutual authentication and resist against various types of attacks. This study shows that such a protocol is still vulnerable to three types of attacks, i.e., the offline identity guessing attack, the sensor node impersonation attack and the hub node spoofing attack. We then present a secure scheme that addresses these problems, and retains similar efficiency in wireless sensors nodes and mobile phones.

Summary A time‐limited data access control scheme allows a user's access to the data files only for a specified time period. A cryptographic solution to the time‐limited access control problem is by encrypting each data group associated with a time period with a distinct key. The data is encrypted by the data owner. The respective decryption keys are then distributed to authorized users by the data owner. A user requires one secret decryption key storage for each authorized time period. To reduce the secret key storage with each user, time‐limited hierarchical key management schemes are generally used. Many such schemes are proposed in the recent years. The objective of these schemes is system efficiency and data security. Construction of such schemes become more challenging when data is outsourced to an untrusted third party service provider. In current work, an efficient and secure time‐limited hierarchical key assignment scheme is proposed for key management suitable for data outsourcing scenario. We compare it with the other recent similar schemes. The scheme is formally proved against the modern stronger security notion called key indistinguishability.

Smart home networks (SHNets) are based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and provide users with a highly intelligent home life. In recent years, SHNets have become more and more popular. In SHNets, a large amount of data interactions are needed. These data related to the privacy of users may be subject to attacks such as eavesdropping attacks, replay attacks, and mobile phone stolen attacks. Privacy protection and communication security in smart home networks have been widely studied by many scholars. However, most of the existing user authentication in current researches focus on identity-based authentication, where the encryption protocols are divided into two steps: the signing step and the encryption step. In this paper, a certificateless signcryption scheme for SHNets is proposed which can provide biometric-based user identity authentication. The security and performance analyses show that our scheme is efficient and secure.
