Abstract:The services provided to users in the environment associated with the Internet of Things (hereinafter referred to as IoT) begin with the information collected from sensors. It is imperative to transmit high-quality sensor data for providing better services. It is also required to collect data only from those authenticated sensors. Moreover, it is imperative to collect high-quality data on a sustainable and continuous basis in order to provide services anytime and anywhere in the IoT environment. Therefore, high-quality, authenticated sensor networks should be constructed. The most prominent routing protocol to enhance the energy consumption efficiency for the sustainable data collection in a sensor network is the LEACH routing protocol. The LEACH routing protocol transmits sensor data by measuring the energy of sensors and allocating sensor groups dynamically. However, these sensor networks have vulnerabilities such as key leakage, eavesdropping, replay attack and relay attack, given the nature of wireless network communication. A large number of security techniques have been studied in order to solve these vulnerabilities. Nonetheless, these studies still cannot support the dynamic sensor group allocation of the LEACH routing protocol. Furthermore, they are not suitable for the sensor nodes whose hardware computing ability and energy resources are limited. Therefore, this paper proposed a group sensor communication protocol that utilizes only the four fundamental arithmetic operations and logical operation for the sensor node authentication and secure data transmission. Through the security analysis, this paper verified that the proposed scheme was secure to the vulnerabilities resulting from the nature of wireless network communication. Moreover, this paper verified through the performance analysis that the proposed scheme could be utilized efficiently.

Abstract. Wireless Sensor is used for military purpose, machine management, cultural properties management, etc. However, sensor being transmitted in wireless network channel, relay attack, eavesdropping, and replay attack have occurred. Also, because the sensor's hardware arithmetic operation capacity is very limited (low cost), it has various security vulnerabilities for which a solution has not yet been developed. Thus, this paper proposed the light-weight distance-bounding mutual authentication security scheme based on the limited hardware computing capability. The proposed scheme is safe against all security vulnerabilities that could occur in sensor network and can be efficiently used for group sensor management because of its ability to authenticate multiple sensors simultaneously and to show efficient performance.Keywords: Distance-Bounding, Group Authentication, Light-Weight, Mutual Authentication, Sensor Network. IntroductionSensor network is consisted of a sensor node to transmit information detected through sensing to a sink, in other words, a server via cluster header or base station. It is used for various purposes including military purpose, cultural properties management, road management, etc. Also, it is able to perform such functions as temperature detection, motion detection, humidity detection, etc.Given the nature of communication based on wireless network, sensor node was easily exposed to such vulnerabilities as key leakage, eavesdropping, replay attack, etc. from the initial phase of commercialization. As a result, a variety of security techniques have been developed. To date, the sensor node to support even for RC5, open key, etc. was developed.However, as for the sensor node that has a very limited capability as compared with hardware arithmetic operation capacity such as smart dust, etc. and those sensor nodes having different energy sources, it is inappropriate to use the encryption and security communication, which are requiring a high arithmetic operation to be used in the existing studies. Moreover, those previous studies on the prevention of relay attack were focused on the detection of sensor node location through network topology, RF
