Nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) are generally deployed in unattended environments making the nodes susceptible to attacks. Therefore, the need of defending such attacks becomes a big challenge. We propose a scheme to build a security mechanism in a query-processing paradigm within WSN. The scheme is capable of protecting replay attack while preserving essential properties of security such as authentication, data integrity and data freshness. The solution is made lightweight using symmetric key cryptography with very short-length key. Further, the key used in our scheme is neither pre-deployed nor is transmitted directly. The key information is established among nodes through an efficient use of one variant of dynamic TDMA mechanism which ensures security of key. Another variant of dynamic TDMA is used to make the scheme bandwidth saving, an essential quality of WSN. Performance of the scheme is analyzed in terms of storage, computation and communication overhead. Finally the analytical results are compared with two of the existing schemes including the previous version of the present scheme that show significant reduction of all such overheads thereby proving the suitability of the proposed scheme for a resource-constrained network like WSN.

“…The candidate security techniques must meet the main security requirements including integrity, confidentiality, authentication, and freshness of data. Integrity means that the data must not be modified during transmission [7]. Confidentiality ensures that information should never flow in a clear way between nodes, especially in critical applications such as military and healthcare.…”

CoopECC: A Collaborative Cryptographic Mechanism for the Internet of Things

The emergence of IoT applications has risen the security issues of the big data sent by the IoT devices. The design of lightweight cryptographic algorithms becomes a necessity. Moreover, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a promising cryptographic technology that has been used in IoT. However, connected objects are resource-constrained devices, with limited computing power and energy power. Driven by these motivations, we propose and develop a secure cryptographic protocol called CoopECC which leverages the organization of IoT nodes into cluster to distribute the load of cluster head (CH) among its cluster members. This technique proves that it optimizes the resource consumption of the IoT nodes including computation and energy consumption. Performance evaluation, done with TOSSIM simulator, shows that the proposed protocol CoopECC outperforms the original ECC algorithm, in terms of computation time, consumed energy, and the network’s lifespan.

“…Resistance to common attacks [7]: To ensure security of the scheme, it is important to prevent attacks like man-inthe-middle and replay attacks [15]. For example, an attacker neither can pretend to be a legitimate user to cheat other participants nor can it launch an attack on the scheme to continue sending old messages to overload the network.…”

With the rapid growth of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs), huge amounts of road condition data are constantly being generated and sent to the cloud for processing. However, this introduces a significant load on the network bandwidth causing delay in the network and for a time-critical application like VANET such delay may have severe impact on real-time traffic management. This delay maybe reduced by offloading some computational tasks to devices as close as possible to the vehicles. Further, security and privacy of vehicles is another important concern in such applications. Thus, this paper proposes a secure road condition monitoring scheme for fogbased vehicular networks. It considers Road-Side Units (RSUs) with computational capabilities, which act as intermediate fog nodes in between vehicles and cloud to reduce delay in decision making and thereby increases scalability. Apart from fulfilling basic security features, our scheme also supports advanced features like unlinkability and untraceability. A detailed security analysis proves that the proposed scheme can handle both internal and external adversaries. We also justify the efficiency of our scheme through theoretical overhead analysis. Finally, the scheme is simulated using an integrated SUMO and NS-3 platform to show its feasibility for practical implementations while not compromising on the network performance. The results show an average 80.96% and 37.5% improvement in execution time and end-to-end delay respectively while maintaining at par results for packet delivery ratio over a state-of-the-art scheme.
