A New User Authentication Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Elliptic Curves Cryptography

A New User Authentication Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Elliptic Curves Cryptography

User authentication in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a critical security issue due to their unattended and hostile deployment in the field. Since sensor nodes are equipped with limited computing power, storage, and communication modules, authenticating remote users in such resource-constrained...
