METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING REPLAY ATTACK IN WIRELESS NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method for preventing a replay attack is provided. A prime number is mutually exchanged between a main node and children nodes. The main node generates a Prime Sequence Code Matrix (PSCM) corresponding to the prime number, notifies the children nodes of sequence orders corresponding to the children nodes. The main node selects an arbitrary value of a Prime Sequence Code-1 (PSC1) among a series of values corresponding to an arbitrary node in the PSCM. The arbitrary node computes a Prime Sequence Code-2 (PSC2) subsequent to receiving the PSC1 using a sequence order received from the main node and the prime number. The PSC2 is transmitted to the main node. The main node compares the received PSC2 with the PSCM. The method can be easily applied by supplementing a weakness for a replay attack on the basis of an IEEE 802.15-4-2006 standard and minimizing system load.
