A Survey of Internet of Things (IoT) Authentication Schemes

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the ability to provide everyday devices with a way of identification and another way for communication with each other. The spectrum of IoT application domains is very large including smart homes, smart cities, wearables, e-health, etc. Consequently, tens and even hundreds of billions of devices will be connected. Such devices will have smart capabilities to collect, analyze and even make decisions without any human interaction. Security is a supreme requirement in such circumstances, and in particular authentication is of high interest given the damage that could happen from a malicious unauthenticated device in an IoT system. This paper gives a near complete and up-to-date view of the IoT authentication field. It provides a summary of a large range of authentication protocols proposed in the literature. Using a multi-criteria classification previously introduced in our work, it compares and evaluates the proposed authentication protocols, showing their strengths and weaknesses, which constitutes a fundamental first step for researchers and developers addressing this domain.

An Energy Efficient and Formally Secured Certificate-Based Signcryption for Wireless Body Area Networks with the Internet of Things

“…The symbols CFY, UFY, A ARA, FSY, PVY, ROM, FVTA, √ , and ⨵ indicate confidentiality, unforgeability, authen integrity, anti-replay attack, forward secrecy, public verifiability, random oracle model verification through AVISPA, satisfying the service, and does not satisfy, respectively. The is clearly shown that, our proposed CB-SN meet all the claimed security services and the s i.e., Li et al [22], Omala et al [15], Gao et al [24], Braeken et al [17], Braeken et al [19] Sche and 3 do not meet the services such as FSY and PVY, as well as FVTA or some other verificat t + 1) 2 (2) Note, ℎ points are different from elliptic curve [26]. It forms the divisors which are the formal sum of finite integers like = ∑ i i, where i ℑ and i ℎ .…”

“…Confidentiality means that the contents of a plain text (m) should hide from intruders and the intruders cannot get any meaning from the signcrypted text without knowing the shared secret key. In the proposed CB-SN scheme, if the intruders desire to scramble the contents of a plain text from a signcryption text = {C,A, S}, then it is mandatory for them to reveal the shared secret key SK by computing Equation (2). To compute this equation, it is important for the intruders to extract Ω from Equation (3), which is hard for them because this leads to computing ℎ − .…”

“…The IoT has so many applications in our daily lives, i.e., it is used in smart cities, smart homes, and e-health, etc. [2]. By providing faster access to the treatment of patients, the wireless body area networks (WBAN) integrate with the Internet of things (IoT) and play an important role in the patient health care system, because this ecosystem, enables all the users and devices to access the patient's psychological data from anywhere and anytime in the world by utilizing the Internet [3].…”

Digital Image Watermarking Techniques: A Review

“…Still, security is a big challenge in digital image watermarking. More recently, internet of things (IoT)-based authentication schemes have provided supreme security without human interaction [114], where more encryption can be done outside the image contents. Furthermore, blockchain-based authentication schemes also provide high levels of security.…”

CASA‐IoT: Scalable and context‐aware IoT access control supporting multiple users

“…With the transport of messages from one device to the other authenticated and private, one must take care of the user authentication. There are a number of authentication schemes that can be used in IoT . Our work focuses on the post authentication part, in which the user is already cleared for access to the IoT system.…”
