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

The overwhelming acceptance and growing need for Internet of Things (IoT) products in each aspect of everyday living is creating a promising prospect for the involvement of humans, data, and procedures. The vast areas create opportunities from home to industry to make an automated lifecycle. Human life is involved in enormous applications such as intelligent transportation, intelligent healthcare, smart grid, smart city, etc. A thriving surface is created that can affect society, the economy, the environment, politics, and health through diverse security threats. Generally, IoT devices are susceptible to security breaches, and the development of industrial systems could pose devastating security vulnerabilities. To build a reliable security shield, the challenges encountered must be embraced. Therefore, this survey paper is primarily aimed to assist researchers by classifying attacks/vulnerabilities based on objects. The method of attacks and relevant countermeasures are provided for each kind of attack in this work. Case studies of the most important applications of the IoT are highlighted concerning security solutions. The survey of security solutions is not limited to traditional secret key-based cryptographic solutions, moreover physical unclonable functions (PUF)-based solutions and blockchain are illustrated. The pros and cons of each security solution are also discussed here. Furthermore, challenges and recommendations are presented in this work.

6G technology is now attracting many scientific researchers due to its prominent features including high mobility, high data rate, high operating frequency, and ultra-low end-to-end delay. Compared to the 5G, 6G has certain advantages that can transform smart healthcare to a new advanced intelligent healthcare system, where multiple issues and concerns of the services (e.g., slow ambulance response) are effectively resolved. In such a communication system, patients and service providers communicate with each other via an open internet channel. Since the healthcare data is important and very sensitive, security and privacy in the healthcare network become prominent. In this paper, we introduce a 6G-aided intelligent healthcare environment. Our work also proposes a solution called Centerless User-Controlled Single Sign-On (CL-UCSSO) for achieving a convenient and cost-saving communication in the constructed multi-server system. A threefactor mechanism (combining smart card, password and biometrics) and time bound property are integrated to design the protocol with fast authentication that allows patients and providers to efficiently establish secure communications. Security proof of the proposed protocol is provided using well-known verification tools including RoR model, AVISPA simulation and BAN logic. Results of performance comparisons on various aspects show that our work provides more functionalities and incurs less cost compared with the related works.

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.
