“…For instance, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) signature verification takes 1.61s, with 160-bit keys on an ATmega128 8-MHz processor [6]. Thus, several PKC-based broadcast authentication protocols have been proposed [8,7,9,10]. These protocols are based on several cryptographic techniques, including Merkle Hash Tree [11], public-key ECC-based signature scheme such as ECDSA [12], and ID-based signature scheme [13] with either pairing-free or optimal-pairing.…”

“…Inspired by the acceleration technique of Fan and Gong [5], we propose in this paper an accelerated verification of digital signatures generated by vBNN-IBS [9], a pairing-free identity-based signature with reduced signature size. However, unlike the original technique and in order to harden the attacker's task, the proposed technique releases the sum of two intermediate computation results rather than releasing them separately.…”

Broadcast authentication is a fundamental security service in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Although symmetric-key-based µTESLA-like schemes were employed due to their energy efficiency, they all suffer from DoS attacks resulting from the nature of delayed message authentication. Recently, several public-key-based schemes were proposed to achieve immediate broadcast authentication that may significantly improved security strength. However, while the public-key-based schemes obviate the security vulnerability inherent to symmetric-key-based µTESLA-like schemes, their signature verification is time-consuming. Thus, speeding up signature verification is a problem of considerable practical importance, especially in resource-constrained environments. This paper exploits the cooperation among sensor nodes to accelerate the signature verification of vBNN-IBS, a pairing-free identity-based signature with reduced signature size. We demonstrate through on extensive performance evaluation study that the accelerated vBNN-IBS achieves the longest network lifetime compared to both the traditional vBNN-IBS and the accelerated ECDSA schemes. The accelerated vBNN-IBS runs 66% faster than the traditional signature verification method. Results from theoretical analysis, simulation, and real-world experimentation on a MICAz platform are provided to validate our claims.

The application and usage of the wireless sensor network is rapidly growing. Wireless sensor networks are normally deployed into the unattended environment where the intended user can get access of the network. The sensor nodes collect data from this environment. If the data are valuable and confidential then some security measures are needed to protect the data from the unauthorized access. In this paper, I propose an identity-based user authentication and access control protocol based on the Identity-Based Signature (IBS) scheme where the ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) based digital signature algorithm (DSA) is used for signing a message and verifying a message for a wireless sensor networks. This protocol accomplishes the registration of a new user, authentication of a user, session key establishment between sensor node and the user; and finally grants the appropriate data access to the user. User revocation is also handled in this proposed protocol. Compared with other conventional security solutions, this protocol provides confidentiality and integrity of the sensor data; and also achieves better computational, communicational performance and energy efficiency due to the use of more efficient IBS algorithms based on ECC than those based on RSA.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have found use in many areas ranging from military to healthcare among other areas of interest. Multiuser broadcast authentication is an important security feature in WSNs that can enable users to securely broadcast their data in a WSN. By its very nature, a WSN is resource constrained in nature making security implementation on such a network a major challenge of concern. In this paper, we present an efficient pairing-free broadcast authentication (BA) scheme with message recovery based on a lightweight digital signature protocol for use on WSNs. Our proposed BA scheme is able to accelerate message authentication broadcasted over a WSN while providing user anonymity. Comparing our proposed BA scheme with previous existing and related BA schemes, we have demonstrated that a reduction in computation, communication, and energy cost is possible making our scheme efficient for use on WSNs.
