An authentication protocol based on Chinese remainder theorem in wireless sensor networks

Nowadays authentication has become an important technology in the fields of network security. Because of the limitation of the resource and computing capability in wireless sensor network, a kind of simple and efficient authentication protocol needs to be taken into account. Moreover, a few security flaws have been found in a few related protocols. Therefore, an authentication protocol has been presented based on Chinese remainder theorem (CRT), and security analysis and performance testing related to this protocol have been performed. The results hereby show that the protocol has the high security level and stable performance.
