Multi‐user broadcast authentication scheme for wireless sensor network based on elliptic curve cryptography
Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have found use in many areas ranging from military to healthcare among other areas of interest. Multiuser broadcast authentication is an important security feature in WSNs that can enable users to securely broadcast their data in a WSN. By its very nature, a...
