DEC‐LADE: Dual elliptic curve‐based lightweight authentication and data encryption scheme for resource constrained smart devices

Abstract

The fast growth in Internet‐of‐Things (IoT) applications has increased the number of end‐devices communicating over the Internet. As these resource‐constrained devices are connected over the Internet, they are exposed to various security and privacy issues. Traditionally, to provide end‐to‐end security, research efforts have been carried out using elliptic curve cryptography‐based authentication schemes. These existing schemes use a single set of elliptic curve parameters to generate the public and private keys, which are prone to be hacked under intense cryptanalysis. Thereby to increase the security strength the proposed method uses two sets of dynamic elliptic curves for performing digital signature and encryption processes. The method is evaluated on a client‐server model using the Raspberry Pi‐3 device. Herein, the choice of elliptic curves is made random at the client node and the reference of each elliptic curve is exchanged with the server during the key‐exchange process. The choice of elliptic curves is delegated to the client machine to avoid the unwanted delay that would be encounter if server had to choose the curve. This is done because the client senses the data at regular intervals of time and forwards it to the server securely. Experiments were conducted to measure the time taken for hashing function, key generation, signature generation, signature verification, encryption and decryption process. On comparing the proposed DEC‐LADE with cBLAKE2b, an improvement was seen at 13.76%, 2.57%, 18.36%, 6.12%, 9.91% and 6.08% less time, respectively, than LWDSA with mBLAKE2b. Theoretical and real‐time security evaluations are performed for man‐in‐the‐middle attack, replay attack, and a denial‐of‐service attack.

“…5. The results expose that the TAMOMO-SCRP technique has accomplished higher NRE over the other methods [26], [27]. For instance, with 4000 rounds, the TAMOMO-SCRP technique has resulted in increased NRE of 127J, whereas the CIRP, MEEC, ZCA, OHCR, and IDHR models have obtained reduced NRE of 121J, 115J, 111J, 104J, and 101J respectively.…”

“…Compared to cBLAKE2b, the proposed DECLADE required 13.76 percentage points, 2.57 percentage points, 18.36 percentage points, 6.12 percentage points, 9.91 percentage points, and 6.08 percentage points less time than mBLAKE2b with LWDSA. In addition, it did both theoretical and real-time safety assessments of man-in-the-middle, replay, and denial-of-service attacks [19].…”

“…The prediction of user behavior sequence is to start from a given state, predict the subsequent states and the output values of the states in a limited step, and generate a more complete sequence of user behavior [29]. According to the finite stage optimal decision theory of Markov process, the prediction process is to find the starting point from the specified state in the transfer matrix step state transfer to obtain the maximum utility of the www.ijacsa.thesai.org transfer path.…”
