Abstract:

In many applications areas like banking, shopping, monitoring, health care, finance and education wireless sensor networks are used.Many traditional cryptography authentication schemes using one time passwords,biometric passwords,image embedded one time password are in usage for improving the throughput of system by restricting access of the resources by an unauthorized individuals during such online transactions.However, in the traditional cryptography methods with one time password generation failed due to the evolution of the high computing quantum computers. In this paper, we propose a method using super dense coding for enhancing the communication security. The proposed method uses no-cloning theorem and quantum wave collapse to generate a novel one time password called image quantum one time password for enhancing the security in quantum communications. Two trusted third party service providers are used in the proposed system. The user and the server select one of the trusted third party service providers that had the highest authenticating credentials over a period. In this paper we simulated the proposed method using the Simulaqron,a simulating protocol for the quantum sensor networks and the results showed that the proposed method is secured.
