Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play an important role in the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and have been widely used in many industrial fields to gather data of monitoring area. However, due to the open nature of wireless channel and resource-constrained feature of sensor nodes, how to guarantee that the sensitive sensor data can only be accessed by a valid user becomes a key challenge in IIoT environment. Some user authentication protocols for WSNs have been proposed to address this issue. However, previous works more or less have their own weaknesses, such as not providing user anonymity and other ideal functions or being vulnerable to some attacks. To provide secure communication for IIoT, a user authentication protocol scheme with privacy protection for IIoT has been proposed. The security of the proposed scheme is proved under a random oracle model, and other security discussions show that the proposed protocol is robust to various attacks. Furthermore, the comparison results with other related protocols and the simulation by NS-3 show that the proposed protocol is secure and efficient for IIoT.

一种基于 ECC 的鲁棒、可证明、具有隐私保护的工业物联网安全认证协议


无线传感器网络（WSN）在工业物联网（IIoT）中发挥着重要作用，已广泛应用于许多工业领域来收集监控区域的数据。然而，由于无线信道的开放性和传感器节点的资源受限特性，如何保证敏感传感器数据只能由有效用户访问成为IIoT环境中的关键挑战。一些 WSN 用户认证协议已经被提出来解决这个问题。然而，之前的作品或多或少都有自己的弱点，比如没有提供用户匿名等理想的功能，或者容易受到某些攻击。为了为工业物联网提供安全通信，提出了一种具有隐私保护的工业物联网用户认证协议方案。该方案的安全性在随机预言模型下得到了证明，其他安全性讨论表明该协议对各种攻击具有鲁棒性。此外，与其他相关协议的比较结果以及 NS-3 的仿真表明，该协议对于 IIoT 来说是安全且高效的。
