<p>Because of their widespread potential future usage, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) form the backbone of IoT infrastructure. A key concern in wireless networks is handover authentication, which is used to guarantee the safe and smooth transition of mobile nodes between different access points. To optimize handover choices, such an algorithm has to take into account several context characteristics, such as battery level, usage of energy rate, along with real-time network circumstances. That way, we can make mobile networks more sustainable, prolong battery life, and cut down on wasteful energy use. By providing a holistic strategy that strikes a balance between the conflicting needs of connection, quality of service, and energy efficiency, the suggested energy-efficient handover algorithm hopes to address this crucial void. Unfortunately, there are a handful of security flaws in current handover authentication techniques, and they also have large computational and transmission costs. As a result, we provide a novel authentication mechanism for handovers and demonstrate its robustness in the random oracle scenario. In terms of efficiency and security, the suggested protocol outshines the two most recent handover authentication algorithms. Furthermore, we provide an innovative elliptic curve cryptography-based handover authentication strategy for wireless networks that is both efficient and shown to be safe. We present a new strategy that provides forward secrecy along with solid anonymity while being resistant to key compromise attacks. On top of that, it’s better at communicating and computing.</p>
