Abstract

As wireless sensor networks (WSN) continue to grow, so does the need for effective security mechanisms. Because sensor networks may interact with sensitive data and/or operate in hostile unattended environments, it is important that these security concerns be addressed from the beginning of the system design. So WSN requires main security goal of authenticating among a remote individual, the sensor nodes, and the gateway node. In 2011, Tan proposed a two-factor user authentication scheme suited for WSN environments, in which users can be authenticated using a single password shared with the gateway node. A fundamental requirement for password-based authentication is security against off-line password guessing attack. However, Tan’s scheme does not meet the requirement. In this work, we demonstrate this security problem with Tan’s user authentication scheme.
