Wireless sensor node's authentication scheme based on Multivariate Quadratic Quasi-groups

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are widely used in different fields (military, environment, .. ) and they can be connected to the Internet using the IP protocol, this connection will form the Internet of Things (IoT). Real deployment of WSNs needs keeping in mind serious security considerations. RSA or DSA are heavy protocols to be used on resource constrained devices, they contain complex computation. MQQ is computationally more efficient than classical cryptosystems like RSA and Diffie-Hellman. In this paper we focus on the authentication problem. We propose an authentication approach based on Multivariate Quadratic Quasi-groups (MQQ) for WSN, sensor nodes will do mutual authentication. © 2015 IEEE.
