Performance Evaluation (2/4) Functional Requirements 13

Performance Evaluation (3/4) Computational overheads for authentication 14

Performance Evaluation (4/4) Authentication latency time 15

Security Analysis (1/3) Replay attack ◦ Login message  Solution: timestamp ◦ Accept login message  Solution: timestamp Forgery attack with node capture attack ◦ Get TID, X, TS, C K, T 0, t  Solution: A cannot be capture ◦ Get TID, X, TS, TID, A, t  Solution: t is already in the database A: the stored bits by the adversary. B: the common stored bits by two neighboring sensor nodes α : the number of broadcasted random bits 16

Security Analysis (2/3) Man-in-the-middle attack ◦ Get TID, A, t, C K, T 0, t  Solution: X cannot be capture Stolen verifier attack with node capture attack ◦ Get vpw, TID, X, TS  Solution: user pseudomynity Secret key forward secrecy ◦ Get secret key x, TID, A, t  Solution: without knowing X=(TID||x) 17

Security Analysis (3/3) Provide user pseudonymity ◦ Reason: TID=h(UID) ㊉ N 0 Provide Mutual authentication ◦ Reason: common secret value 18

Conclusion The proposed protocols are robust against many security attacks and have better security properties in terms of user privacy and mutual authentication. They have analyzed the proposed schemes using simulations and the results show that both are quite efficient. 19

Comment Key Recovery In login phase, (T 0 -t) ≧△ T is an unnecessary check. Maybe ⊕ is simpler than ||. 20
