Title
Improved Authentication in Secured Multicast Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) Using Opposition Frog Leaping Algorithm to Resist Man-in-Middle Attack
Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in modern times enables security techniques to secure the information transmitted via the interconnected network. The poor security services in WSN environment erupts to more attacks and misbehavior of nodes. Hence, it requires an effective security mechanism that should avoid the degradation of network performance with security flaws. In these regards, the sensor node authentication becomes critical with increased attacks and threats, and with increasing communication between the sensor nodes. Hence, the complexity associated with security protocols increases and that enables the networks to misbehave. In this paper, we design a light-weight authentication mechanism using a dual topology in multicast WSNs. It is the authentication is improved using EdDS Algorithm (EdDSA) with an XOR functionality. Finally, the uncertainty in choosing the misbehaving nodes for further communication is optimally found by a theoretical game model. This avoids the illegitimate access of non-malicious nodes in multicast environment, while it ensures fastest authentication. In this way, the authentication of the nodes in the network is tested and validated against man-in-middle attack. The simulation results show that the proposed EdDSA-XOR functionality has 0.13% and 0.07% of reduced time consumption and reduced energy consumption, respectively than other methods.
