Abstract :
This paper presented a lightweight mutual authentication protocol for wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. The transmitted data are protected with a proposed encryption function which only requires simple exclusive-OR (XOR) arithmetic operations. The advantages of the present proposed scheme not only provide low computational cost but also allow legitimate users can freely change their own passwords.
