A lightweight and secure authentication protocol for WSN
Published in 2020 International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (IWCMC), 2020
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are gaining traction in day to day applications where data has to be gathered in hostile environments using low computing power sensors. As these sensors are deployed in hostile environments, strong authentication mechanisms are essential to guarantee the safety and security of the data being transferred. But, these strong authentication mechanisms are computationally heavy for the low power sensors. So, there is a need for a lightweight and secure authentication protocol for WSNs. Applications of these sensor ranges from healthcare to oil and exploration. The security of the data being gathered and transmitted is of utmost importance as they can correlate to life and death situations in some instances. So, employment of extremely secure schemes is a necessi
