The current vision of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to ensure that everything from everywhere is connected to the Internet at all times using Internet Protocol (IP). This idea has the potential of making homes, cities, electric grids, among others, safer, more efficient, and easier to manage. Nevertheless, a number of obstacles still remain to fully realize the IoT vision, with security and privacy among the most critical. Ensuring security and privacy in the IoT is particularly complicated, especially for the resource‐constrained devices due to finite energy supply and low computing power. These factors are typically at odds with most of the existing security protocols and schemes proposed for the IoT because of the intensive computational nature of the cryptographic algorithms involved. This paper performs an extensive comparison of previous surveys on the subject, and shows its novelty with respect to the previous work. It describes 9 application domains and presents, in detail, security requirements, system models, threat models along with protocols and technologies for those 9 application areas. The survey also performs an exhaustive examination of some existing mechanisms and approaches proposed in the literature for ensuring security and privacy of IoT devices. Finally, it outlines some open research issues associated with IoT security.

“…In [10] the authors illustrate an initiator impersonation attack and a responder impersonation attack to the standard protocol. At the end of these attacks, the attackers successfully establish a master key with one side of the communicating parties, while the other side thinks it has the shared master key with the true participant.…”

“…Among these protocols, password authenticated association [8,9] is a protocol for a node and a hub to generate a new shared MK from a pre-shared secret, i.e., the password. However, recent research shows that this protocol is vulnerable to several attacks, such as Man-in-the-Middle and impersonation attacks illustrated in [10], and the off-line dictionary attack and there being a lack of forward secrecy, y 2 ≡ x 3 + ax + b mod p with a, b ∈ GF(p), 4a 3 + 27b 2 …”

“…In [10], the authors show that an attacker breaks into the communication between the initiator and the responder and modifies the messages at his/her will. At last, the attacker shares two master keys with the initiator and the responder, respectively, while the initiator and the responder think they have a shared master key.…”

An Improved Protocol for the Password Authenticated Association of IEEE 802.15.6 Standard That Alleviates Computational Burden on the Node

Abstract:The IEEE Std 802.15.6 is an international standard for wireless body area networks (WBANs). It contains many aspects of communications, and also provides security services, since some communications in WBANs can carry sensitive information. In this standard, the password authenticated association is a protocol for two participants to identify each other and establish a new master key based on a pre-shared short password. However, recent research shows that this protocol is vulnerable to several attacks. In this paper, we propose an improved protocol which can resist all of these attacks. Moreover, the improved protocol alleviates computational burden on one side of the two participants, the node, which is usually less powerful compared with the other side, the hub.

Modern technologies of mobile computing and wireless sensing prompt the concept of pervasive social network (PSN)-based healthcare. To realize the concept, the core problem is how a PSN node can securely share health data with other nodes in the network. In this paper, we propose a secure system for PSN-based healthcare. Two protocols are designed for the system. The first one is an improved version of the IEEE 802.15.6 display authenticated association. It establishes secure links with unbalanced computational requirements for mobile devices and resource-limited sensor nodes. The second protocol uses blockchain technique to share health data among PSN nodes. We realize a protocol suite to study protocol runtime and other factors. In addition, human body channels are proposed for PSN nodes in some use cases.The proposed system illustrates a potential method of using blockchain for PSN-based applications.INDEX TERMS IEEE 802.15.6, blockchain, e-health, healthcare, human body channels.
