The biggest challenge in the field of networking is the secured communication between the nodes within the network system; therefore it has become one of the major and attractive fields of research in computer network. The importance of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in this field is increasing rapidly because of its smaller key size compare to other known public-key algorithms. Several user authentication and key management algorithms or schemes have been developed so far but most of them contain complex computations. Not only that, most of the schemes also rely on remote server for node authentication as well as node communication. In this paper, an ECC based algorithm has been proposed to overcome these kinds of complexities. The proposed work will do mutual authentication and session key management for node communication efficiently without putting extra burden on any server but with lesser computation time.
