With the increasing demand for the use of technology in all matters of daily life and business, the demand has increased dramatically to transform business electronically especially regards COVID-19. The Internet of Things (IoT) has greatly helped in accomplishing tasks. For example, at a high temperature, it would be possible to switch on the air conditioner using a personal mobile device while the person is in the car. The Internet of Things (IoT) eases lots of tasks. A wireless sensor network is an example of IoT. Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an infrastructure less self-configured that can monitor environmental conditions such as vibration, temperature, wind speed, sound, pressure, and vital signs. Thus, WSNs can occur in many fields. Smart homes give a good example of that. The security concern is important, and it is an essential requirement to ensure secure data. Different attacks and privacy concerns can affect the data. Authentication is the first defence line against threats and attacks. This study proposed a new protocol based on using four factors of authentication to improve the security level in WSN to secure communications. The simulation results prove the strength of the proposed method which reflects the importance of the usage of such protocol in authentication areas.
随着日常生活和商业各方面对技术使用的需求不断增加，尤其是在新冠疫情背景下，通过电子方式转变业务的需求急剧增长。物联网（IoT）极大地助力了任务的完成。例如，在高温环境下，当人在车内时，可以使用个人移动设备打开空调。物联网简化了许多任务。无线传感器网络就是物联网的一个例子。无线传感器网络（WSN）是一种无需基础设施即可自我配置的网络，能够监测诸如振动、温度、风速、声音、压力和生命体征等环境状况。因此，无线传感器网络可应用于许多领域。智能家居就是一个很好的例子。安全问题至关重要，确保数据安全是一项基本要求。不同的攻击和隐私问题可能会影响数据。认证是抵御威胁和攻击的第一道防线。本研究提出了一种基于使用四种认证因素的新协议，以提高无线传感器网络的安全级别，确保通信安全。仿真结果证明了所提方法的有效性，这反映了该协议在认证领域应用的重要性。
