PurposeIn wireless sensor network (WSN), user authentication plays as a vital role in which data sensing, as well as sharing, will be spoiled by hackers. To enhance user security, user authentication must be focused.Design/methodology/approachIn previous works, for secured authentication, Enhanced User Authentication Protocol (EUAP) is presented. On the other hand, the user free password generation is permitted in the previous technique.FindingsHere, password leakage may cause a malevolent user's contribution to the WSN environment. By presenting the Flexible and Secured User Authentication Protocol (FSUAP), this is solved in the presented technique in which secured as well as reliable sharing of data contents via unsecured wireless sensor devices was accomplished.Originality/valueThe foremost objective of the present technique is to device the protocol that would verify the users beforehand letting them access the sensor devices situated in various sites. The use of a sensor device could be reduced in a significant way. Three-factor authentication protocols are presented in place of two-factor authentication protocol in the presented technique that could deal with and safeguard the environment from a brute force attack in an effective manner.

This chapter shows how cryptomodules can increase security of wireless sensor network and possibilities of biometric authentication against a node or the whole network. For secure operation of a wireless sensor network, security objectives such as confidentiality, integrity, and authentication must be implemented. These security objectives typically employ cryptography, therefore sensor nodes should be able to compute cryptographic algorithms and provide secure tamper-resistant storage for cryptographic keys. Use of dedicated secure hardware for this purpose and security threats are discussed. Two scenarios where the biometric authentication would be appreciated are introduced – smart home and storehouse with medicaments. Biometric generation of cryptographic keys, biometric authentication in wireless network and possible attacks on biometrics are presented. When designing and verifying communication protocols using informal techniques, some security errors may remain undetected. Formal verification methods that provide a systematic way of finding protocol flaws are discussed.
