Security of a new lightweight authentication and key agreement protocol for internet of things

摘要

The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of all kinds of sensors which collect much information. The privacy and anonymity in IoT is fundamental to the system and must be resolved. Sima proposed a protocol about lightweight authentication and key agreement and claimed to be secure and robust against all existing methods of attack. In this paper, the author points out the vulnerability of Sima's protocol and makes improvements to it which can resist the malicious attack.
