“…Hence, there is potential to improve the performance in the schemes reported in [ 14 , 15 , 32 ] without invalidating the security claims. Pang et al [ 33 ] presented a bilinear pairing-based certificateless signature scheme and proved its security in the standard model. However, the proposed scheme requires significant computation due to the inherent nature of bilinear pairing.…”

Rapid advances in wireless communications and pervasive computing technologies have resulted in increasing interest and popularity of Internet-of-Things (IoT) architecture, ubiquitously providing intelligence and convenience to our daily life. In IoT-based network environments, smart objects are embedded everywhere as ubiquitous things connected in a pervasive manner. Ensuring security for interactions between these smart things is significantly more important, and a topic of ongoing interest. In this paper, we present a certificateless signature scheme for smart objects in IoT-based pervasive computing environments. We evaluate the utility of the proposed scheme in IoT-oriented testbeds, i.e., Arduino Uno and Raspberry PI 2. Experiment results present the practicability of the proposed scheme. Moreover, we revisit the scheme of Wang et al. (2015) and revealed that a malicious super type I adversary can easily forge a legitimate signature to cheat any receiver as he/she wishes in the scheme. The superiority of the proposed certificateless signature scheme over relevant studies is demonstrated in terms of the summarized security and performance comparisons.

“…Obviously, in the security proof [21], the attacker passively received the master secret key and public parameters generated by the challenger like all the previous schemes [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], which did not consider how to capture the MKGC attacks.…”

“…Nevertheless, most of these early CLS schemes are only provably secure in the random oracle model [14], whose security may not be able to remain when the random oracle is instantiated with a concrete hash function. To fill the gap, Liu et al proposed the first CLS scheme secure in the standard model [15] and then some modified schemes were put forward in [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Nevertheless, all of them only were proven to be secure against PKR attacks and HKGC attacks.…”

“…Nevertheless, all of them only were proven to be secure against PKR attacks and HKGC attacks. Although some of them like [19,22,23] have been indicated to be secure against MKGC attacks, the authors do not provide a formal security proof under MKGC attacks without random oracles. Therefore, it is still an unresolved problem to construct a concrete CLS scheme provably secure against MKGC attacks in the standard model.…”

In digital signature, strong unforgeability requires that an attacker cannot forge a new signature on any previously signed/new messages, which is attractive in both theory and practice. Recently, a strongly unforgeable certificateless signature (CLS) scheme without random oracles was presented. In this paper, we firstly show that the scheme fails to achieve strong unforgeability by forging a new signature on a previously signed message under its adversarial model. Then, we point out that the scheme is also vulnerable to the malicious-but-passive key generation center (MKGC) attacks. Finally, we propose an improved strongly unforgeable CLS scheme in the standard model. The improved scheme not only meets the requirement of strong unforgeability but also withstands the MKGC attacks. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to prove a CLS scheme to be strongly unforgeable against the MKGC attacks without using random oracles.

“…In such IoT applications, low‐cost sensors are prone to fail due to battery exhaustion, environmental degradation, malfunction of external hazard, mechanical/electrical problem, or malfunction of different hardware components in the sensor nodes 6–9 . These faulty sensor nodes lead to increase data transmission latency and reduce the performance of the network 10–15 . An IoT‐based smart system always needs actionable insights at the required time that avoid further damage when an incident has occurred.…”

SummaryWireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the major components for the Internet of Things (IoT)‐based smart systems that accumulate meaningful information and send them to the end‐user. In IoT‐enabled WSNs, large numbers of sensor nodes are deployed in an on‐site environment to collect and transmit different physical parameters from the monitoring environments to a central repository. However, low‐cost sensing devices in IoT‐enabled WSNs are prone to fail due to energy depletion, software failures, and hardware failures. The existing fault detection approaches consume notable additional energy to detect and overcome the failures. As a result, the whole network is subject to premature death. This article proposes a green fault detection scheme for IoT‐enabled WSNs to detect faulty nodes and solve the premature death problem of the network. Furthermore, a faulty node reuse mechanism is proposed that significantly prolongs the network lifetime. We analyze the properties of the proposed algorithm mathematically and validate its performance through extensive simulation and real‐life experiments. The simulation and experimental results show improved performance of the proposed scheme in terms of fault detection accuracy, false alarm rate, and network lifetime.
