A Provably Secure, Efficient, and Flexible Authentication Scheme for Ad hoc Wireless Sensor Networks

Description
Summary:In 2014, Turkanovic et al. proposed a smart card-based authentication scheme for heterogeneous ad hoc wireless sensor network. This scheme is very efficient since it employs only hash function and XOR operation. However, we found that Turkanovic et al.'s scheme is vulnerable to impersonation attack with node capture, stolen smart card attack, sensor node spoofing attack, stolen verifier attack, and fails to ensure backward secrecy. We propose an efficient scheme to overcome all those weaknesses. Moreover, we also propose an advanced scheme, which provides perfect forward secrecy without much modification from the first proposed scheme.
