Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks attract applications ranging from border security to commercial market, and demand efficient security solution par application requirements. This paper presents a password-based authenticated key agreement protocol that allows mutual authentication and secure data transmission between sensor network and user. The protocol is well-suited in the resource-constrained sensor nodes, secure and efficient compared to related security protocols in sensor networks.
