Abstract Now-a-days authentication becomes a part of our daily life. Biometric authentication or,

simply, biometrics refers to the method of using the physiological or behavioral characteristics to determine or verify one’s identity. Many of the systems require reliable

personal recognition approaches to either identify or determine an individual by requesting their services. The purpose of such approaches is to ensure that whether the

rendered services are accessed only by a legitimate user or anyone else. These methods

applied for secure access of buildings, computer systems, laptops, cellular phones and ATMs. There are different types of biometric techniques exists in our literature based on

the physical characteristics( such as eye’s features (Iris, retina), facial features, hand

geometry, ear shape, finger prints, wrist/hand veins, DNA, chemical composition of body odor) and the personal characteristics (such as handwritten signature, keystrokes/typing

patterns, voiceprint). In this paper, we presented a perspective scheme i.e., olfactory biometric technique (based on body odor) which is still under development. Odor, as a

biometric technique, has some important characteristics, mainly, it is faster and easier

since users will be not involved with unfamiliar interfaces such as typing password, signing or even deliberate exposing some part of the body.

Providing Security using Signature-based Broadcast

Authentication in Sensor Networks

B. Chakradhar* Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Aditya Engineering College, Kakinada, AP, India

Abstract As per recent studies it is feasible to perform public key cryptographic operations on

resource-constrained sensor platforms. But the problem is energy consumption

introduced by public key operations makes any public key-based protocol an easy target of Denial-of-Service attacks. For example, if digital signature schemes like Elliptic Curve

Digital Signature Algorithm are used directly for broadcast authentication without

further protection, an attacker can simply broadcast fake messages and force the receiving nodes to perform a huge number of unnecessary signature verifications, and

can consume their battery power. This paper shows how to mitigate such Denial-of-Service attacks when digital signatures are used for broadcast authentication in sensor

networks. Specifically, this paper first presents two filtering techniques, the group-based

filter and the key chain-based filter, to handle the Denial-of-Service attacks against signature verification. Both methods can reduce the number of unnecessary signature

verifications when a sensor node is under Denial-of-Service attack. This paper then combines these two filters and proposes a hybrid solution to further improve the

performance.

Keywords: Sensor networks, security, broadcast authentication, Denial-of-Service

attacks, digital signature.
