TL;DR: A mutual authentication protocol based on ECC is designed for RFID systems which can resist camouflage attacks, tracking attacks, denial of service attacks, system internal attack and so on.
Abstract: In this paper, a mutual authentication protocol based on ECC is designed for RFID systems. This protocol is described in detail and the performance of this protocol is analyzed. The results show that the protocol has many advantages, such as mutual authentication, confidentiality, anonymity, availability, forward security, scalability and so on, which can resist camouflage attacks, tracking attacks, denial of service attacks, system internal attack.

TL;DR: It is shown that AP-AKA has some drawbacks, including the huge bandwidth consumption between foreign network and the home network, the overhead of the stored space in the foreign network, and the overloaded home network with authentication of mobile stations.
Abstract: Recently, Zhang and Fang proposed a security analysis and enhancements of 3GPP authentication and key agreement protocol (AP-AKA for short). The enhancements of 3GPP authentication and key agreement protocol is proposed to improve some drawbacks of the current third-generation wireless communications. It also eliminates the need of synchronization between a mobile station and its home network. However, this paper shows that AP-AKA has some drawbacks, including the huge bandwidth consumption between foreign network and the home network, and the overhead of the stored space in the foreign network, and the overloaded home network with authentication of mobile stations. As a result, an extension of AP-AKA is proposed, which improves theses drawbacks, while preserving the superior merits of AP-AKA.

TL;DR: The proposed protocol can guarantee end-to-end data authentication with the aid of digital signature and exhibits its effectiveness and efficiency through security analysis and performance analysis.
Abstract: Guaranteeing end-to-end data security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is important and has drawn much attention of researchers over past years. Because an attacker may take control of compromised sensor nodes to inject bogus reports into WSNs, enhancing data authenticity becomes a necessary issue in WSNs. Unlike PCREF (Yang et al. in IEEE Trans Comput 64(1):4---18, 2015) (LEDS, Ren et al. in IEEE Trans Mobile Comput 7(5):585---598, 2008), digital signature rather than message authentication polynomials (message authentication codes) is adopted by our protocol in en-route filtering. Keeping the advantages of clusters in PCREF and overcoming the drawbacks in LEDS, an enhanced and efficient cluster-based security protocol is proposed in this paper. The proposed protocol can guarantee end-to-end data authentication with the aid of digital signature and exhibits its effectiveness and efficiency through security analysis and performance analysis. Our analytical results show that the proposed protocol significantly outperforms the closely related protocols in the literature in term of security strength and protocol overhead.

TL;DR: A subnetwork key management strategy in which the heterogeneous security requirements of a wireless sensor network are considered to provide differing levels of security with minimum communication overhead, which reduces delay by 50% and energy consumption by 70% over the existing dynamic group key management (DGKM) scheme.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a subnetwork key management strategy in which the heterogeneous security requirements of a wireless sensor network are considered to provide differing levels of security with minimum communication overhead. Additionally, it allows the dynamic creation of high security subnetworks within the wireless sensor network and provides subnetworks with a mechanism for dynamically creating a secure key using a novel and dynamic group key management protocol. The proposed energy-efficient protocol utilizes a combination of pre-deployed group keys and initial trustworthiness of nodes to create a level of trust between neighbors in the network. This trust is later used to allow secure communication between neighbors when creating a dynamic, high security subnetwork within the sensor network. Results of simulations of the protocol in Ns2 are presented and the complexity of the protocol is analyzed. The proposed protocol reduces delay by 50% and energy consumption by 70% over the existing dynamic group key management (DGKM) scheme.

TL;DR: Experimental results show that the proposed authentication protocol improves the security level and the resource consumption of devices, and is based on a keyed hash algorithm.
Abstract: Wireless network devices are used for the Internet of Things in a variety of applications, and although the IoT has many benefits, there are some security issues in this area. Hacking tools that are widely used in wireless communication enable the attacker to export the information stored in the device memory. Devices within the IoT should not allow this information to be accessed without an authentication. In this paper, we propose an efficient device authentication protocol without certification authority for the Internet of Things. Compared to the existing Constrained Application Protocol, the proposed protocol increases efficiency by minimizing the number of message exchanges. Since our protocol is based on a keyed hash algorithm, the Certificate of Authority is not required. Experimental results show that the proposed authentication protocol improves the security level and reduces the resource consumption of devices.
