TL;DR: Security analysis of the proposed protocol shows that it provides complete anonymity for communicating nodes and is robust against a number of attacks including the masquerade attack, wormhole attack, selective forwarding attack and message manipulation attack.
Abstract: The nature of wireless communication makes it susceptible to a number of security threats, disclosing the identities of the communicating parties in the network. By revealing the identity of nodes in the network, outside parties can setup severe targeted attacks on specific nodes. Such targeted attacks are more harmful to sensor networks as sensing nodes (sensors) have limited computing and communication power prohibiting them from using robust security mechanisms. Anonymous communication is one of the key primitives for ensuring the privacy of communicating parties in a group or network. In this paper, we propose a novel secure anonymous communication protocol based on pairing over elliptic curves for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Using this protocol, only the legitimate nodes in the sensor network can authenticate each other without disclosing their real identities. The proposed protocol is extremely efficient in terms of key storage space and communication overhead. Security analysis of our protocol shows that it provides complete anonymity for communicating nodes. The analysis also shows that the proposed protocol is robust against a number of attacks including the masquerade attack, wormhole attack, selective forwarding attack and message manipulation attack.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for injecting a security token into an authentication protocol response is described, based on the compliance node of the node. But the protocol response from a node requesting access to a network is intercepted and the node complies with a health policy of the network.
Abstract: A method for injecting a security token into an authentication protocol response is disclosed. An authentication protocol response from a node requesting access to a network is intercepted. It is determined if the node complies with a health policy of the network. A security token is inserted into the authentication protocol response based on the compliance node.

TL;DR: The ESIKE protocol overcomes the security shortages of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE), and can provide secure negotiation of session key and Security Association, protection of endpoints' identities, and mutual authentication between the initiator and the responder.
Abstract: In this paper, we first present a concrete formal protocol design approach, which is based on authentication tests, to create an Efficient and Secure Internet Key Exchange (ESIKE) protocol. Then we formally prove the secure properties of ESIKE with strand space model and authentication tests. The ESIKE protocol overcomes the security shortages of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE), and can provide secure negotiation of session key and Security Association (SA), protection of endpoints' identities, and mutual authentication between the initiator and the responder. It needs only three messages and less computational load, so it is simple and efficient.

TL;DR: It is shown that the protocol for mobile network authentication and key distribution based upon the DSA signature scheme is insecure on the registration phase since an attacker can easily forge a certification for any exit or dummy user in their protocol and then pretend to be a legal user to communicate with other entities.

TL;DR: Comparisons of security and performance were given with other authentication protocols, and the results show that the proposed protocol is feasible for RFID tags which are low cost and resource-constrained.
Abstract: The security issue of RFID is becoming more and more serious,in order to protect the RFID’s information security and privacy,a mutual authentication protocol for RFID based on HB protocol was proposed in the standard model.The security proofs for this novel protocol was given by using the reduction method,and the attacker’s hardness was reduced to the indistinguishability between pseudo-random function and real random function.The implementation of proposed protocol only required lightweight pseudo-random generator and vector dot product operation and provided higher security and efficiency.The comparisons of security and performance were also given with other authentication protocols,the results show that the proposed protocol is feasible for RFID tags which are low cost and resource-constrained.
