文摘The universality of the application of wireless sensor networks( WSN) makes more attention be paid on the security problem. Node authentication is not only the basis of network security,but also the premise of key management and secure routing protocol. Although the signature mechanism based on symmetric encryption is high in energy efficiency,it is vulnerable to be attacked and there is a time delay during authentication. Traditional public key encryption mechanism with improvement in security brings in complex algorithm and costs much time,which is not suitable for WSN. In this paper,a signature authentication mechanism,an optimized variant Bellare Namprempre Neven( OvBNN) is presented to quickly complete the authentication by mutual cooperation between nodes so as to make the nodes use the intermediate calculation results of their neighbor nodes directly.Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism is superior to traditional authentication mechanisms both in energy consumption and authentication time.
