Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a scheme that it safely exchanges encrypted keys without Trust Third Party (TTP) and Pre-distributing keys in multi-hop clustering sensor networks. Existing research assume that it exists a TTP or already it was pre-distributed a encrypted key between nodes. However, existing methods are not sufficient for USN environment without infrastructure. Some existing studies using a random number Diffie-Hellman algorithm to solve the problem. but the method was vulnerable to Replay and Man-in-the-middle attack from the malicious nodes. Therefore, authentication problem between nodes is solved by adding a ��TESLA. In this paper, we propose a modified Diffie-Hellman algorithm that it is safe, lightweight, and robust pair-wise agreement algorithm by adding One Time Password (OTP) with timestamp. Lastly, authentication, confidentiality, integrity, non-impersonation, backward secrecy, and forward secrecy to verify that it is safe.
