Post-Quantum Secure

Project Code :TCMAPY1211

Objective

The objective of this project is to address the growing security challenges faced by Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by developing a robust post-quantum secure authentication protocol. Traditional RSA authentication methods are susceptible to quantum computing advancements, necessitating the implementation of a more resilient solution. Leveraging lattice-based cryptography and the Ring Learning with Errors (RLWE) problem, our goal is to design an authentication protocol that safeguards WSNs against quantum attacks while ensuring data integrity. The protocol will undergo thorough analysis to assess its security properties, including protection against impersonation and key replication. Additionally, the project aims to evaluate the performance of the proposed protocol through simulations, demonstrating its efficiency compared to traditional schemes. Ultimately, the objective is to create a protocol suitable for real-world deployment in WSN environments, offering robust security against quantum threats without compromising communication efficiency.

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) face increasing security challenges due to potential data manipulation by malicious actors. Traditional RSA authentication is vulnerable to quantum computing advancements, prompting the need for post-quantum secure protocols. Our paper introduces a Post-Quantum Secure Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol tailored for WSNs, leveraging lattice-based cryptography to resist quantum attacks via the Ring Learning with Errors (RLWE) problem. We analyze its security properties, including protection against impersonation and key replication. The protocol involves setup, user and sensor registration, and authentication phases. Through simulations, we assess its performance, showing efficient execution compared to traditional schemes. Our findings demonstrate its suitability for real-world WSN deployment, offering robust security against quantum threats while preserving communication efficiency.
