“…Therefore, using an AEAD scheme can reduce the computational time required to complete the authentication phase by reducing the cryptographic operation involved in the authentication process. Therefore, by leveraging the benefits of an AEAD scheme and hash function, we propose a lightweight and secure AKE scheme for the TIMS with the following contributions [42], [43].…”

The phenomenal growth of smartphones and wearable devices has begun crowd-sourcing applications for the Internet of Things (IoT). E-healthcare is considered the essential service for crowd-sourcing IoT applications that help remote access or storage medical server (MS) data to the authorized doctors, patients, nurses, etc., via the public Internet. As the public Internet is exposed to various security attacks, remote user authenticated key exchange (AKE) has become a pressing need for the secure and reliable use of these services. This paper proposes a new resource-efficient AKE scheme for telecare medical information systems, called REAS-TMIS. It uses authenticated encryption with associative data (AEAD) and a hash function. AEAD schemes are devised specifically for encrypted communication among resource-constricted IoT devices. These features of AEAD make REAS-TMIS resource-efficient. Moreover, REAS-TMIS dispenses with the elliptic curve point multiplication and chaotic map that are computationally expensive operations. In addition, REAS-TMIS renders the functionality of session key (SK) establishment for future encrypted communication between MS and users after validating the authenticity of the user. The security of SK is corroborated employing the well establish random oracle model. Moreover, Scyther-based security corroboration is implemented to show that REAS-TMIS is secure, and informal security analysis is executed to show the resiliency of REAS-TMIS against various security attacks. Besides, a thorough analysis shows that REAS-TMIS, while accomplishing the authentication phase, requires less computational, communication, and storage resources than the related authentication protocol.

“…The UE generates a SUCI by encrypting the SUPI using the ECIES. 14 Like several protocols proposed in recent times, 20,21 in ECIES also the concept of elliptic curve cryptography is used. The steps involved in the process of generating a SUCI from a given SUPI using the ECIES are as follows (Figure 1).…”

In mobile network, ensuring privacy to the subscriber is an obligation of the mobile operator. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the private information about the subscriber like his/her identity does not get compromised.While adopting technologies with regards to issues like this, operators mostly follow specifications standardized by the third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). In a recent technical specification published by 3GPP for 5G mobile network, an Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES) is adopted for identity privacy. However, this scheme does not emphasize on protecting the identity of the home network with which the subscriber is registered. This may make the subscriber vulnerable to tracking by an adversary in a visited network through his/her home network identity. In this paper, we propose an enhanced scheme called scheme for home network identity privacy. Through a formal and an informal security analysis, the proposed scheme is found to be secured. Through a performance analysis, it is found that the scheme achieves its objective of securing the home network identity of the subscriber at the expense of 47% additional computation at the UE in comparison with the execution time that is incurred by ECIES.

“…The authors in [8] proposed an efficient authentication protocol based on physical unclonable function (PUF) and SHA, which can secure the information exchange between SM and CSP. An AEAD, ASCON-hash, and ECC-based authentication protocol for the smart grid system is presented in [9]. The protocol proposed in [9] can pride the resistance against the physical capture attack.…”

ARAP-SG: Anonymous and Reliable Authentication Protocol for Smart Grids

Internet of Things-enabled smart grid (SG) technology provides ample advantages to traditional power grids. In an SG system, the smart meter (SM) is the critical component that collects the power usage information related to users and delivers the accumulated vital information to the central service provider (CSP) via the Internet, imperiled to numerous pernicious security threats. Consequently, it is crucial to preserve the integrity of the communication between SMs and CSP for the smooth running of the SG system. Authentication protocol effectively enables SM and CSP to communicate securely by establishing a secure channel. This paper presents an anonymous and reliable authentication protocol for SG (ARAP-SG) to enable secure and reliable information exchange. The proposed ARAP-SG uses the hash function, elliptic curve cryptography, and symmetric encryption to complete the authentication phase. ARAP-SG guarantees reliable information exchange during the authentication phase while conserving the anonymity of both SP and SM. Additionally, ARAP-SG authorizes CSP and SM to construct a session key (SK) after accomplishing the authentication phase for undecipherable information exchange in the future. We utilized the random oracle model to corroborate the security of constructed SK. Moreover, we demonstrate that ARAP-SG is proficient in thwarting covert security attacks by effectuating informal security analysis. Furthermore, Scyther-based corroboration manifests that ARAP-SG is secure. Finally, we explain through a comparative analysis with relevant authentication protocols that ARAP-SG entails 25.5-56.76% and 7.69-49.47% low computational and communication overheads, respectively, with improved security properties.
