A Hybrid Security Approach for Nodes Authentication in Wireless Sensor Network using Cellular Automata
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose in this paper a computationally efficient security scheme for identifying network members in wireless sensor networks. The authentication process is done by first identifying the base station as being the authentic one with the use of fingerprinting information. Once the base station is authenticated, the others members of the network can then be authenticated by the base station. These unique fingerprints are computed by the base station using the topological information of each node in the network during the deployment phase. They are then pre-loaded into each node. Cellular automata are used for authentication of the network’s members, thus offering resilience against node compromise including the base station, due to the uniqueness of the fingerprint information. Keywords-cellular automata; wireless sensor network; security; authentication; base node; fingerprint; network; node; zero proof knowledge; scheme
