Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a broad range of applications in most of the sectors which require a high level of security. These networks provide sensor data to the external users on a real-time basis; thus, it is a good idea to provide them immediate access. User authentication is an essential requirement to access the services of sensor areas to prevent unauthorized access. The network and data security are key concerns in WSNs for secure and authentic data communication. Thus, an analysis of a secure and efficient data transmission scheme is considered. In this paper, an analysis of existing user authentication schemes is discussed and provides comparative studies of user authentication schemes for network security. An explicitly simulated one of the user authentication schemes by the AVISPA tool is discussed, and its demonstration is also given which shows the resistant to the cryptographic attacks. The lower communication costs are one of the main parameters, i.e., considered to compared with the previous relevant techniques. Moreover, future directions are also discussed for the existing works.
