In this article, a new user authentication protocol using trust model, elliptic curve
cryptography and biometrics for WSNs is submitted. The result of the trust model
analysis indicates that the model can improve the model’s ability of withstanding
attacks from the malicious nodes. The results of safety analysis and performance
analysis for our proposed user authentication protocol demonstrate that this
protocol can be flexible to all sorts of common known attacks and performs
similarly or better compared with some active user authentication protocols. It is
suitable for WSNs which have a prominent request for the security and the
performance.
