Abstract

ZigBee technology is designed to be used on applications that require low data rate, low-cost, low power consumption. However, the ZigBee networks are vulnerable to various attacks. In this paper, we have proposed an Identity-based authentication protocol for a ZigBee network structured to have multiple clusters consisting of one coordinator and many devices. Further more, we have designed a secure protocol used for exchanging public parameters between two clusters. Our proposal could realize secure, fast, low-cost and scalable authentication between any two nodes in a clustered ZigBee network.
