“…Second, in the case of a large number of appliances, the whole home appliances work as a group where SP updates the group in a WBAN environment. The authors of article [37] realise security in SM group environments based key exchange with group authentication in a dynamic way. Its main target is collecting data from sensors then transmitting it to SP which works as a gateway.…”

The internet of things (IoT) has provided a promising opportunity to build powerful systems and applications. Security is the main concern in IoT applications due to the privacy of exchanged data using limited resources of IoT devices (sensors/actuators). In this paper, we present a classification of IoT modes of operation based on the distribution of IoT devices, connectivity to the internet, and the typical field of application. It has been found that the majority of IoT services can be classified into one of four IoT modes: gateway, device to device, collaborative, and centralized. The management of either public or symmetric keys is essential for providing security. In the present paper, we survey different key management protocols concerning IoT, which we further allocate in a map table. The map table is a link between modes of operation and the associated security key management elements. The main target of this mapping table is to help designers select the optimum security technique that provides the best balance between the required security level and IoT system mode constraints.

This study presents a secret key sharing protocol that establishes cryptographically secured communication between two entities. A new symmetric key exchange scenario for smart city applications is presented in this research. The protocol is based on the specific properties of the Fuss‐Catalan numbers and the Lattice Path combinatorics. The proposed scenario consists of three phases: generating a Fuss‐Catalan object based on the grid dimension, defining the movement in the Lattice Path Grid and defining the key equalisation rules. In the experimental part, the authors present the security analysis of the protocol as well as its test. Also, they examine the equivalence of the proposed with Maurer's satellite scenario and suggest a new scenario that implements an information‐theoretical protocol for the public key distribution. Additionally, a comparison with related studies and methods is provided, as well as a comparison with satellite scenario, which proves the advantages of solution presented by the authors. Finally, they propose further research directions regarding key management in smart city applications.

The fifth generation of mobile networks, 5G, is expected to support a set of many requirements and use cases such as handling connectivity for a massive number of IoT (Internet of Things) devices. Authenticating IoT devices and controlling their access to the network plays a vital role in the security of these devices and of the whole cellular system. In current cellular networks, as well as in 3GPP specifications release 16 on 5G, the AAC (Authentication and Access Control) of IoT devices is done in the same manner as the AAC of MBB (Mobile Broadband) UE (User Equipment). Considering the expected growth of IoT devices, this will likely induce a very high load on the connectivity provider's CN (Core Network) and cause network failures.To manage the AAC of this massive number of devices, we propose an SSAAC (Slice Specific Authentication and Access Control) mechanism that makes use of the flexibility provided by virtualization technologies. This mechanism allows the authentication and access control of IoT devices to be delegated to the 3rd parties providing these devices, thereby decreasing the load of the connectivity provider's CN, while increasing the flexibility and modularity of the whole 5G network. We evaluate the feasibility of our proposal with the OAI (Open Air Interface) open-source platform. Next, we provide a security analysis of the proposal and highlight the security requirements to use with this proposal. We also evaluate the impact of this delegation approach on the network load considering the anticipated number of AAC signaling messages compared to the existing AAC mechanisms in cellular networks. According to these evaluations, our approach is feasible and it would provide cellular networks the opportunity to overcome the security shortcomings in their AAC mechanisms. It also considerably reduces the AAC signaling load on the connectivity provider's CN. IntroductionAlong with mobility, security is one of the most important aspects of cellular systems. AAC (Authentication and access control) plays a vital role in ensuring the expected security level. In 3G and 4G, authentication and access control of subscribers are done through AKA (authentication and key agreement) protocols. These protocols (UMTS-AKA protocol in 3G and EPS-AKA in 4G) are based on the unique identities of subscribers and symmetric cryptographic algorithms [1,2] The system subscribers' identities and the secret keys (that are used in symmetric cryptographic algorithms) are provisioned in secured elements (e.g., SIM cards or embedded SIM) and stored in cellular system's database as well. Executing these AKA protocols to establish a secure connection with the cellular system is mandatory for each UE (composed of a mobile device and a secured element) to obtain its cellular connectivity [1,2]. However, these well-established principles may prevent cellular systems from supporting the connectivity of a massive number of devices [3], in particular when considering the context of the IoT-where a high growth rate of connected devices...
