Secure Anonymous Authentication with Location Privacy for IOT-based WSN

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) may be a new technological paradigm which will connect things from various fields through the web . For the IoT connected sensor applications, the IOT based sensor network is gaining popularity into the market. In the recent years, numerous anonymous authentication schemes were proposed to supply security in sensor networks. However, many of those schemes aren't computationally efficient during anonymous authentication. Moreover, the previous schemes did not provide location privacy for both the sender and receiver. In order to overcome these limitations, in this work, we propose an efficient and secure anonymous quantum encryption-based authentication framework with location privacy preservation for IoT-based sensors. The comprehensive analysis section shows that the proposed scheme overcomes the safety weaknesses within the existing schemes and also provides low computation cost during anonymous authentication.
