Abstract

Wireless sensor network(WSN) authentication schemes are the basic necessary security tool for protecting the communication authenticity and integrity in the network. In this paper we propose general authentication schemes from linear error-correcting codes and rational functions. There are very many different random code and function based authentication schemes with the same security functionality and cost. When these different and random code and function based authentication schemes are used for various parts of one large scale wireless sensor network, the resulted WSN authentication schemes constructed in this paper can resist the compromising of large number of sensor nodes for this large scale wireless sensor network with moderate communication and storage cost. The verification per node in our novel WSN authentication schemes is very fast. Thus WSN authentication schemes based on codes and rational functions can be used to resist the pollution and DoS attacks from the adversary.
