Abstract

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), broadcast authentication is an important security service that provides secure communication. Several mobile users are allowed by this broadcast authentication service. There are some concerns in the sensor network, which depend on security based on maintaining consumer untracking and privacy for data transmission. To overcome the concern of security issues, an Identity (ID)-based cryptography method is introduced. This paper presented a Pairing-Free Identity-based Digital Signature (PF-IBDS) Algorithm based on Modified Elliptic Curve Cryptography (MECC) by using Battle Royal Optimization Algorithm. The main aim of this paper is to secure the data transmission for message authentication. The proposed protocol is to enhance the speed of authentication, reduce the signature size and speed up the signature verification. Moreover, this paper analyses the security by BAN (Burrows–Abadi–Needham) logic and comparing with the existing protocols. It is verified that the developed protocol is protected and well-organized for peer-to-peer communications. Therefore, the proposed method offers secure key management, fast authentication, and also minimizes the computation overhead. The proposed authentication process is simulated in the Java platform. The performance of this protocol has compared with other existing approaches in terms of key verification time, key generation time and computational time.
