Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an emerging topic in
wireless communication where various sensor nodes are connected
over the internet for data exchange. Exchanging the information
over the WSN is very critical; therefore, it requires authentication
and security mechanisms to ensure integrity and confidentiality.
To avoid unauthorized use of WSN, the authentication through a
digital signature turns into an essential task in WSN. Verification
of individual signature is taking too much time and it is not
suitable for wireless sensor network. Digital signature verification
time can be reduced by using batch verification techniques in
WSN. Therefore, the goal of this research is to examine and
analyze the different type of batch verification algorithm based on
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). With respect to security, the
entire algorithm is identical to the standard Elliptic Curve Digital
Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) verification algorithm. These
algorithms are effectively limited to small batch sizes.
