Abstract

In a wireless sensor network environment, it is required to ensure anonymity by keeping sensor nodes' identifiers not being revealed and to support real-time authentication, lightweight authentication and synchronization. In particular, there exist possibilities of location information leakage by others, privacy interference and security vulnerability when it comes to wireless telecommunications. Anonymity has been an importance issue in wired and wireless network environment, so that it has been studied in wide range. The sensor nodes are interconnected among them based on wireless network. In terms of the sensor node, the researchers have been emphasizing on its calculating performance limit, storage device limit, and smaller power source. To improve of biometric-based D. He scheme, this study proposes a real-time authentication protocol using Unique Random Sequence Code(URSC) and variable identifier for enhancing network performance and retaining anonymity provision.

무선센서 네트워크 환경에서 센서노드들에 대한 식별자 노출을 억제함으로써 익명성을 보장하고 실시간 인증, 인증의 경량화, 동기화 등이 요구되고 있다. 특히 무선 채널상에서 이루어지는 통신은 제3자에 의한 위치정보가 노출되거나 프라이버시 침해 및 보안상의 취약점이 존재한다. 익명성은 유 무선 네트워크 환경에서 중요한 문제로 폭넓게 연구되어왔다. 센서 노드는 노드간의 무선망 구성을 기본으로 하여 계산능력의 제한과 저장장치의 제한, 전력 장치의 소형화가 강조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 생체기반의 D. He scheme을 개선하여 네트워크 성능 향상과 익명성을 보장하며 URSC(Unique Random Sequence Code)와 가변식별자(variable identifier)를 이용한 실시간 인증 프로토콜을 제안한다.
