Abstract :
In 2008, Das and Joshi proposed a new dynamic program update protocol for wireless sensor networks using the orthogonality principle. Recently, Zeng et al. showed that the Das-Joshi scheme is vulnerable to an impersonation attack and proposed an improved scheme to overcome the weakness. However, in this paper we present that Zeng et al.´s scheme still suffers from the impersonation attacks.
