  Abstract

With the development of information communication technology and embedded technology, users can use various services using low-power devices such as IoT, health-care, smart home at anytime and anywhere. However, these services can be vulnerable to various attacks because transmitted information is provided through a public channel, and an adversary can try to modify, eavesdrop, delete the transmitted messages in order to obtain user’s sensitive information. Therefore, secure authentication and key agreement scheme have been needed to provide secure services to legitimate user. In 2017, Tai et al. proposed an authentication and key agreement scheme for wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we show that Tai et al. scheme cannot resist various attacks such as smart card stolen, session key attacks and their scheme cannot provide secure mutual authentication. We also propose lightweight user authentication and key agreement protocol in WSN environment to resolve the these security weaknesses. We demonstrate that our proposed scheme is secure against various attacks such as smart card stolen, session key and user impersonation attacks using informal analysis. Furthermore, we prove that our scheme provide secure mutual authentication sing the BAN logic. Therefore, our proposed scheme is efficient and suitable to practical WSN environment.
