Abstract

Authenticated data transmission is a vital concern in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Clustering approach in WSNs assists in improving the performance of resource-constrained sensor networks. In this paper, we propose an authenticated variation of LEACH (Sig-LEACH) for cluster-based WSNs (CWSNs). The cluster head node is chosen on a random rotation basis. The proposed protocol uses certificateless digital signature for node authentication. The security of the signature relies on elliptic curve discrete logarithm (ECDLP) hardness assumption. Sig-LEACH is. The simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed protocol. In terms of energy consumption and security overhead, the results calculated from the propose protocols illustrated better performance than other existing protocols to secure CWSNs.
