文摘To strike a tradeoff between the security and the consumption of energy,computing and communication resources in the nodes,this paper presents an efficient authentication scheme based on one-way key chain for sensor network. The scheme can provide immediate authentication to fulfill the latency and the storage requirements and defends against various attacks such as replay,impersonation and denial of service. Meanwhile,our scheme possesses low overhead and scalability to large networks. Furthermore,the simple related protocols or algorithms in the scheme and inexpensive public-key operation required in view of resource-starved sensor nodes minimize the storage,computation and communication overhead,and improve the efficiency of our scheme. In addition,the proposed scheme also supports source authentication without precluding in-network processing and passive participation.
