Abstract

The essential security mechanism in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is authentication, where nodes can authenticate each other before transmitting a valid data to a sink. There are a number of public key authentication procedures available for WSN in recent years. Due to constraints in WSN environment there is a need for light-weight authentication procedure that consumes less power during computation. This proposed work aims at developing a light-weight authentication protocol using MBLAKE2b with elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA). The proposed protocol is also tested using the protocol verification tool Scyther and found to be secure in all claims and roles. This proposed algorithm increases the network life time and reduces the computation time, which is essential for the constrained environment like WSNs.
