Abstract EN
In wireless sensor networks, users sometimes need to retrieve real-time data directly from the sensor nodes.
Many authentication protocols are proposed to address the security and privacy aspects of this scenario.
However, these protocols still have security loopholes and fail to provide strong user anonymity.
In order to overcome these shortcomings, we propose an anonymous authenticated key exchange protocol based on Elliptic Curves Cryptography (ECC).
The novel protocol provides strong user anonymity such that even the gateway node and the sensor nodes do not know the real identity of the user.
The security of the proposed protocol is conducted in a well-defined security model under the CDH assumption.
Compared with other related protocols, our protocol is efficient in terms of communication and enjoys stronger security.
The only disadvantage is that our protocol consumes more computation resources due to the usage of asymmetric cryptography mechanisms to realize strong anonymity.
Consequently, our protocol is suitable for applications which require strong anonymity and high security in wireless sensor networks.
