“…The aim of attackers in this approach is to obtain the credentials of the communicating parties. The attackers focuses on analysis of the traffic with the aim of decoding the secret keys of interacting entities [13]. The hybrid encryption secured the credentials of communicating parties as follows.…”

Internet of Things (IOT) is an essential paradigm where devices are interconnected into network. The operations of these devices can be through service-oriented software engineering (SOSE) principles for efficient service provision. SOSE is an important software development method for flexible, agile, loose-coupled, heterogeneous and interoperable applications. Despite all these benefits, its adoption for IOT services is slow due to security challenges. The security challenge of integration of IOT with service-oriented architecture (SOA) is man-in-the-middle attack on the messages exchanged. The transport layer security (TLS) creates a secured socket channel between the client and server. This is efficient in securing messages exchanged at the transport layer only. SOSE-based IOT systems needs an end-to-end security to handle its vulnerabilities. This integration enables interoperability of heterogeneous devices, but renders the system vulnerable to passive attacks. The confidentiality problem is hereby addressed by message level hybrid encryption. This is by encrypting the messages by AES for efficiency. However, to enable end-to-end security, the key sharing problem of advanced encryption standard (AES) is handled by RSA public key encryption. The results shows that this solution addressed data contents security and credentials security privacy issues. Furthermore, the solution enables end-to- end security of interaction in SOSE-based IOT systems.

“…can reveal significant information about a traffic flow, see e.g. [16], [4], [6], [7] and references therein. A number of defences have been proposed to counter these traffic analysis attacks, mostly addressing attacks that make use of packet size, count and the length of transmission e.g.…”

“…they modify the traffic by padding the packets to be the same length or by adding dummy traffic to the end of the packet sequence to mask the packet count [8]. These defences are, however, ineffective against attacks that solely use timing information of network flows, see for example [6] and [7]. To the best of our knowledge none of this previous work on defences against traffic analysis attacks has considered fairness or the joint aspect of the trade-off between privacy, throughput and delay in a shared network.…”
