A Multi-Factor Secure Mutual Authentication Scheme for Iot Enabled WSN

Resumen

Web-enabled tools have become commonly used in our everyday life with the rise of
the Internet of Things (IoT) innovations. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a significant
role in IoT (Health-care, Smarter City) applications. WSNs are advanced networks consisting
of remote sensors which are deployed commonly and arbitrarily over the intention area.
Essential data from the sensors can be accessed by a registered user with the aid of a gateway
node. The authentication mechanism is necessary for safe message transmission and
confidential client security due to the sophistication and transparency of wireless networks.
This paper proposes multi-factor secure mutual authentication scheme for IoT enabled WSN.
This paper uses user identity, password, and biometrics to authenticate remote users and shared
verification among gateway and sensor nodes based on node identity and signature. It also uses
zero-knowledge proof which helps the Prover to validate the confirmation. The performance
of the proposed work is analyzed based on computation and communication cost. The
suggested method is well suitable for WSNs based on the evaluation of computational
effectiveness and safety criteria with previous findings.
