Research Of Multi-Factor Identity Authentication Scheme For Zigbee Network Nodes, Weiwei Zhou, Yuntian Yue, Bin Yu

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To solve the problem of the man-in-the-middle attack and impersonation attack in ZigBee networks, a scheme based on multi-factor identity authentication for ZigBee network nodes was proposed. The scheme bound the fresh factor updated in a particular cycle with hardware information via a one-way hash function to generate hardware information factor. On this basis, the scheme achieved the authentication mechanism for the nodes through the comparison among key factor, hardware information factor and configuration information factor received by control center. Meanwhile, the nodes completed control center authentication through the signature verification of the message received. Thus, the bidirectional authentication …
