Performance Evaluation of Sextic Curve Cryptography and Probability Symmetric Curve Cryptography in Wireless Sensor Networks

Efficient Implementation of Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Wireless Sensor Networks

One of the huge problems for security in sensor networks is the lack of resources. Typical sensor nodes such as the quite popular MICA and MICA2 Motes from UC Berkeley [1] are based on a microcontroller architecture with only a few KBytes of memory and severe limited computing ability. Strong publickey cryptography is therefore commonly seen as infeasible on such devices. In contrast to this pr...

Low-Cost Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Wireless Sensor Networks

This work describes a low-cost Public-Key Cryptography (PKC) based solution for security services such as key-distribution and authentication as required for wireless sensor networks. We propose a custom hardware assisted approach to implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in order to obtain stronger cryptography as well as to minimize the power. Our compact and low-power ECC processor cont...

Elliptic curve cryptography-based access control in sensor networks

Access control in sensor networks is used to authorise and grant users the right to access the network and data collected by sensors. Different users have different access right due to the access restriction implicated by the data security and confidentiality. Even though symmetric-key scheme, which has been investigated extensively for sensor networks, can fulfil the requirement, public-key cr...

Elliptic Curve Cryptography Based Wireless Authentication Protocol

Recently, Aydos et al. proposed an ECC-based wireless authentication protocol. Because their protocol is based on ECC, the protocol has significant advantage including lower computational burden, lower communication bandwidth and storage requirements. However, Mangipudi et al showed that the protocol is vulnerable to the man-inthe-middle attack from the attacker within the system and proposed a...
