摘要:Sensor nodes are usually installed in public or unattended environment and secure authentication scheme performs important roleamong communication in between user, wireless sensor network (WSN) and sensor node as it secures the communication by sweepin g thesecurity flaw. Authentication scheme must be developed by using all possible available resources and without compromisin g any securityflaw/risk. This paper proposes an efficient authentication scheme for wireless sensor network, which is based on username password and smartcard, and this scheme provides better security in between communicating nodes. Users are able to choose own username and password. Thisscheme involves registration, login and session key establishment phase. Most of scheme don’t allow to hide username in entire scheme, whichmay lead to insider attack. This scheme uses the combination of symmetric and asymmetric keys, and maintains the authenticity of nodes usingmutual authentication that prevents the network from man-in-middle attack and makes it more secure against other security attacks such asinsider attack, password guessing attack, replay attack etc
