“…This mechanism neither authenticates sensor node nor provides security against attacks like masquerade, replay, Sybil, and others. In Dharminder et al, 32 a lightweight authentication scheme is proposed, which is based on lightweight cryptographic operations like XOR operation, hash function, and others. However, the proposed mechanism is proposed for user authentication and maintains user anonymity.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely used in large areas of applications; due to advancements in technology, very tiny sensors are readily available, and their usage reduces the cost. The mechanisms designed for wireless networks cannot be implied on networks with tiny nodes due to battery and computational constraints. Understanding the significance of security in WSNs and resource constraintness of tiny WSNs, we propose a node authentication mechanism for nodes in wireless sensor networks to avoid security attacks and establish secure communication between them. In the proposed mechanism, a base station (BS) generates a secret value and random value for each sensor node and stores at the node. The sensor node authenticates using secret value and random number. Random nonce ensures freshness, efficiency, and robustness. The proposed mechanism is lightweight cryptographic, hence requires very less computational, communication, and storage resources. Security analysis of the proposed mechanism could not detect any security attack on it, and the mechanism was found to incur less storage, communication, and computation overheads. Hence, the proposed mechanism is best suitable for wireless sensor networks with tiny nodes.

SummaryCloud computing is an emerging paradigm that enables on‐demand data storage without considering the local infrastructure limitations of end‐users. The extensive growth in number of servers, resources, and networks intensifies security and privacy concerns in clouds. This necessitates secure mutual authentication and key agreement mechanism to verify the legitimacy of participating entities. In accordance, several authentication protocols have been designed to authenticate end‐users over insecure channels. This article presents security analysis of recent protocols that claim to render security and privacy features. We demonstrate that Kaur et al.'s protocol is vulnerable to replay attack, Dharminder et al.'s protocol is prone to user traceability and known session‐specific temporary information (KSSTI) attacks, and Bouchaala et al.'s protocol is prone to replay and KSSTI attacks. To withstand the aforementioned attacks, we propose an enhanced protocol based on fuzzy verifier and elliptic curve cryptography for clouds. Our protocol safeguards against security attacks while providing privacy functionalities. The security analysis is illustrated under real‐or‐random model, and correctness is verified under the Scyther security verification tool. Finally, comparative analysis with existing protocols shows that our protocol delivers robust security with reasonable computational and communication overheads than state‐of‐the‐art protocols.

“…Limbasiya et al [36] developed a smart card authentication approach for network applicants and showed that it could withstand known attacks and was more time efficient. However, Dharminder et al [37] established that Limbasiya et al 's [36] scheme was not secure against password guessing attacks, stolen card attacks, and disclosure of a session key. Sureshkumar et al [38] presented an enhanced mutual authentication mechanism for session initiation and announced that it provided user anonymity.…”

Elliptic Curve Signcryption-Based Mutual Authentication Protocol for Smart Cards

In the modern computing environment, smart cards are being used extensively, which are intended to authenticate a user with the system or server. Owing to the constrictions of computational resources, smart card-based systems require an effective design and efficient security scheme. In this paper, a smart card authentication protocol based on the concept of elliptic curve signcryption has been proposed and developed, which provides security attributes, including confidentiality of messages, non-repudiation, the integrity of messages, mutual authentication, anonymity, availability, and forward security. Moreover, the analysis of security functionalities shows that the protocol developed and explained in this paper is secure from password guessing attacks, user and server impersonation, replay attacks, de-synchronization attacks, insider attacks, known key attacks, and man-in-the-middle attacks. The results have demonstrated that the proposed smart card security protocol reduces the computational overhead on a smart card by 33.3% and the communication cost of a smart card by 34.5%, in comparison to the existing efficient protocols. It can, thus, be inferred from the results that using elliptic curve signcryption in the authentication mechanism reduces the computational cost and communication overhead by a significant amount.
