Due to resource constraints and unique features of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), designing a key establishment protocol is much harder for WSNs than for traditional wired and wireless counterparts. Recently, Tan proposed a three-party Authentication key exchange protocol (3PAKE) which is based on Elliptic curve cryptography. His 3PAKE protocol is efficient because it requires less computation cost and less communication cost, which is well suitable for wireless environments. However, Nose point that Tan's 3PAKE protocol is susceptible to impersonation attack and man in the middle attack. In this paper We presented an enhancement 3PAKE between sensors and a security manager in a sensor network based on Tan's protocol. Detailed analyses show that our proposed protocol is an efficient 3PAKE protocol and more secure.
