This paper proposes an Anonymous Authentication and Key Agreement protocol (AAKA) to protect the privacy and data security of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Compared with other authentication schemes, the AAKA protocol has better security features and higher efficiency, making it suitable for smart living applications.
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play an indispensable role in the application of smart homes, smart healthcare, and precision agriculture. However, WSNs confront privacy risks that hinder its practical applications. The leakage of privacy is one of the key factors to restrict the development of WSNs. Hence, in this paper, we propose an Anonymous Authentication and Key Agreement protocol (AAKA) to accomplish identity authentication and privacy protection. Based on the dynamic sequence number, the shared secret value, and the dynamic random number, the AAKA protocol implements a two-way authentication and keys negotiation among users, gateway, and sensors, which achieves the secure access control of legitimate users to WSNs and ensures the confidential transmission of data over the public channel. We perform the security proof with BAN logic for security evaluation. The performance analysis demonstrates that compared with other WSNs authentication schemes, the AAKA protocol obtained better security features, smaller storage, and more efficient communication. Therefore, it is more suitable for applications in smart living.
