A Secure Trust-Based Key Distribution With Self-Healing for Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) can enable cyber-physical objects to communicate with one another and realize real-time living-needs control such as for vehicles, smart phones, refrigerators, healthcare gadgets and air-conditioners. Of the applications of IoT, collecting and receiving health-related data securely is the most crucial and significant use in the fields of community and hospital healthcare, where any single communication failure or data loss might cause a life damage risk. To address this problem, self-healing mechanism can be used for facilitating secure communications and recovering from the lost data. In this paper, a new key distribution with self-healing for IoT objects of community healthcare is proposed, and the underlying system is composed of two layers. In the top layer, the new scheme implements both deterministic security link and access control which are based on polynomial-based methods. In the bottom layer, we propose a trust-based key distribution scheme with self-healing and a singular value decomposition (SVD) based authentication method. Security and performance analysis show that our protocol can be performed more efficiently in data communication. In addition, results obtained from both security analysis and simulations indicate that our scheme is more suitable for IoT networks.

Lightweight Group Key Establishment for Reducing Memory Overhead

“…Furthermore, when the group size increases, so does the computation complexity. For instance, Han et al [30] form a polynomial by multiplying all secret values of SNs. This scheme produces a polynomial with degree where is the number of SNs in a group.…”

An IoT-Based Secure Vaccine Distribution System through a Blockchain Network

“…Han et al [9] proposed a self-healing secure recovery and communication system. The authors proposed two different layers where thectop layer deploys the access control and deterministic link through polynomial schemes.…”

“…Afterward, the suppliers will supply the vaccines to various locations including hospitals, business organizations, and others. Secure and efficient vaccine distribution Han et al [9] Self-healing secure recovery and communication system…”

“…The analysis of the proposed blockchain mechanism is done in [9,10], where vaccines are distributed through a blockchain network to the concerned patients. For verifying the systems, an IoT-based network is considered over 3600 epochs having 5.1234, 6.341, and 8.678 s at diff erent levels.…”

Novel Secure Validation Scheme to Assess Device Legitimacy in Internet of Things

“…Almogren et al [28] have used fuzzy logic for resisting Sybil attack and thereby developed a trust management scheme. The existing system has also witnessed other trust-related schemes by Truong et al [29], Awan et al [30], Fang et al [31], Awan et al [32], Wang et al [33], Han et al [34], etc.…”
