TLDR
This paper provides a secrecy improvement over Das' protocol to ensure that a legal user can exercise a WSN in an insecure environment and the proposed protocol is shown to be suitable for higher security WSNs.Abstract:
Authentication is an important service in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for an unattended environment. Recently, Das proposed a hash-based authentication protocol for WSNs, which provides more security against the masquerade, stolen-verifier, replay, and guessing attacks and avoids the threat which comes with having many logged-in users with the same login-id. In this paper, we point out one security weakness of Das' protocol in mutual authentication for WSN's preservation between users, gateway-node, and sensor nodes. To remedy the problem, this paper provides a secrecy improvement over Das' protocol to ensure that a legal user can exercise a WSN in an insecure environment. Furthermore, by presenting the comparisons of security, computation and communication costs, and performances with the related protocols, the proposed protocol is shown to be suitable for higher security WSNs.read more

A novel user authentication and key agreement scheme for heterogeneous ad hoc wireless sensor networks, based on the Internet of Things notion
TL;DR: A novel user authentication and key agreement scheme for heterogeneous ad hoc wireless sensor networks is proposed, which ensures mutual authentication between the user, sensor node, and the gateway node (GWN), although the GWN is never contacted by the user.

An efficient user authentication and key agreement scheme for heterogeneous wireless sensor network tailored for the Internet of Things environment
TL;DR: This paper focuses on overcoming the security weaknesses of Turkanovic et?al.'s scheme, by proposing a new and improved UAKAS which enables the same functionality but improves the security level and enables the HWSN to dynamically grow without influencing any party involved in the UAKas.
