Low energy identity-based trusted access control scheme for Wireless Sensor Network

In this paper, a framework of a trusted identity-based authentication scheme named as IBE-Trust is presented. IBE-Trust is an authentication scheme for new nodes to join the networks with the objective to confirm the trustworthiness of the nodes. IBE-Trust provides basic primitives of security by providing confidentiality, message integrity and authentication between new node and base station. The proposed scheme incorporates ideas from Trusted Computing Group (TCG) and Identity-based cryptosystem developed by Boneh Franklin. Analysis on the energy utilization of the proposed trusted authentication protocol running on the ARM11 processor is also presented at the end of the paper. We conclude that the energy utilization needed to establish trust on such a platform is a worthwhile trade-off.
