“…Many researchers are focusing their work on solving security challenges in IoT networks. These challenges include interoperability, data privacy, access control, and lightweight protocol which aims to provide a solution for resource-constrained devices by reducing the key size, cycle rate, throughput rate, power consumption, and area [6]- [8]. They are also trying to improve the traditional cryptography schemes or to develop a new security protocol to protect data transmission between the cloud platform and users [9], [10].…”

Because of the increasing number of threats in the IoT cloud, an advanced security mechanism is needed to guard data against hacking or attacks. A user authentication mechanism is also required to authenticate the user accessing the cloud services. The conventional cryptographic algorithms used to provide security mechanisms in cloud networks are often vulnerable to various cyber-attacks and inefficient against new attacks. Therefore, developing new solutions based on different mechanisms from traditional cryptography methods is required to protect data and users' privacy from attacks. Different from the conventional cryptography method, we suggest a secure mutual authentication protocol based on the visual cryptography technique in this paper. We use visual cryptography to encrypt and decrypt the secret images. The mutual authentication is based on two secret images and tickets. The user requests the ticket from the authentication server (AS) to obtain the permission for accessing the cloud services. Three shared secret keys are used for encrypting and decrypting the authentication process. We analyze the protocol using the Barrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN)-logic method and the results show that the protocol is robust and can protect the user against various attacks. Also, it can provide a secure mutual authentication mechanism.

“…However, the authors observed that the experiments are carried out based on their comprehension, therefore, cannot be considered perfect. Sheu et al, (2022) presents a server-less mutual authentication scheme for edge networks, the work solves security issues in autonomous devices and applications. The protocol utilizes public-key algorithm, challenge-response mechanism, identifier, time-stamps, and session keys.…”

Wireless sensor network (WSN) applications have been utilized for a variety of applications. Such as monitoring environments, military functions, and patient status monitoring. A major challenge in different applications of WSNs is security. This is because they are mostly deployed in a hostile environment, coupled with their constrained resources. Securing data and communication in WSNs requires appropriate cryptographic techniques. This is usually implemented through secure and efficient key management schemes. Research on key management in WSN is a work in progress. In this context, most research works focus on the key establishment and distribution aspect of the key management system. While less attention is devoted to key revocation and renewal techniques. For this reason, network and protocol designers encounter challenges in the design and implementation of the most appropriate schemes for WSN applications. This research work presents an exhaustive review of categories of key revocation schemes in existence. The study focuses on centralized and distributed categories only. A comparative analysis of the security and performance requirements of some selected candidates of centralized and distributed schemes was carried out. The results show that the KRRP scheme is the only solution among the selected candidates that can guarantee end-to-end data secrecy. This is because it merges the capability of private and public key cryptography in its implementation as shown in table 1. Also, the study observed most distributed schemes reviewed did not present energy overheads of process execution despite their complex nature. On the whole, this work outlines a much wider view of key management systems in terms of key revocation functionality and open research issues for the secure and efficient key management system.

“…The article "Autonomous Mutual Authentication Protocol in Edge Networks" [6] addresses the challenge of designing a mutual authentication protocol for the large number of autonomous devices in edge networks. To overcome this, the authors propose a novel decentralized protocol based on a public key system, octet-based balanced-tree transitions, challenge-response mechanism, device unique ID, pseudo-random number generator, time stamps, and event-specific session keys.…”
