Internet of Things (IoT) becomes discretionary part of everyday life. Scalability and manageability is daunting due to unbounded number of devices and services. Access control and authorization in IoT with least privilege is equally important to establish secure communication between multiple devices and services. In this paper, the concept of capability for access control is introduced where the identities of the involved devices are entrenched in the access capabilities. Identity driven capability based access control (ICAC) scheme presented in this paper helps to alleviate issues related to complexity and dynamics of device identities. ICAC is implemented for 802.11 and results shows that ICAC has less scalability issues and better performance analysis compared with other access control schemes. The ICAC evaluation by using security protocol verification tool shows that ICAC is secure against man-in-the-middle attack, especially eavesdropping and replay attacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
