Therefore, WSN is venerable to various attacks. Among these attacks, the id-based attack such as node replication attacks and Sybil attacks are the most threatening. Hence, the security in WSNs presents a critical challenge for identity and data authentication. Although there are some recent approaches, most are resources-costing or constrained to some specific systems. Thus, in this paper, we present a novel authentication scheme to prevent these attacks. This Id-based Multiple Authentication (IMA) scheme bases upon the joint identity authentication and steganography to present a secure mechanism for data aggregation in WSNs. Simulations against above-mentioned attacks applying this scheme is presented and consequently show that the scheme can successfully authenticate the sensory data with high confidentiality. Keywords: Id-based authentication scheme; Wireless sensor network; Security data authentication which protects the integrity and the freshness against replication attacks. Even though efforts have been put into enhancing the authentication scheme, they have some shortages or drawbacks dealing with the security or the efficiency. Data authentication based on message authentication code (MAC) is known as a conventional scheme. Generally, a sensor node will append a MAC to its sensory data or to an aggregate report as an endorsement. These MACs will then be checked by the intermediate nodes along the route to the sink. Although the simple MAC operation is suitable for the energy efficiency, the
