Abstract
Security vulnerability of denial of service (DoS) in time out-medium access control (T-MAC) protocol was discussed and analysis of power consumption at each stage of T-MAC protocol was carried out. For power efficient authentication scheme which can provide reliability, efficiency, and security for a general T-MAC communication, a novel synchronization and authentication scheme using authentication masking code was proposed. Authentication data were repeated and masked by PN sequence. The simulation results show that the proposed approach can provide synchronization and authentication simultaneously for nodes in wireless sensor network (WSN). 63 bits AMC code gives above 99.97% synchronization detection and 93.98% authentication data detection probability in BER 0.031 7.
