“…This is because such attacks require expensive and complex laboratory equipment and requires the full possession of the target for a significant amount of time (from hours to weeks) [35,36]. This becomes even more expensive especially when devices are equipped with tamper-resistant mechanisms [21,30,33]. We finally assume that the implementation of FADIA and its cryptographic components does not contain any security bugs.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) technology promises to bring new value creation opportunities across all major industrial sectors. This will yield industries to deploy more devices into their networks. A key pillar to ensure the safety and security of the running services on these devices is remote attestation. Unfortunately,existing solutions fail to cope with the recent challenges raised by large IoT networks. In particular, the heterogeneity of the devices used in the network affects the performance of a remote attestation protocol. Another challenge in these networks is their dynamic nature: More IoT devices may be added gradually over time. This poses a problem in terms of key management in remote attestation.We propose FADIA, the first lightweight collaborative remote attestation protocol that is designed with fairness in mind. FADIA enables fair distribution of load/tasks on the attesting devices to achieve better performance. We also leverage the Eschenauer-Gligor scheme to enable efficient addition of devices to the network. We implement our solution on heterogeneous embedded devices and evaluate it in real scenarios. The evaluation shows that FADIA can (i) increase the lifetime of a network by an order of magnitude and (ii) decrease the remote attestation runtime by a factor of 1.6. CCS CONCEPTS• Security and privacy → Security protocols; Distributed systems security; Mobile and wireless security; • Networks → Mobile ad hoc networks.

“…This is a physical security attack in which an attacker can try to modify the device or even remove it from the system. A device can be protected from it by limiting the access to the device by building a secure zone around it [52]. B a r e n g h i et al [53] have mentioned that the physical access to a device can be restricted by keeping the device in a sealed tamper-resistant case so that when an unauthorized entity tries to tamper the device it cannot do so and the act of tampering is detected.…”

Security has been a primary concern in almost all areas of computing and for the devices that are low on computing power it becomes more important. In this paper, a new class of computing device termed as Low Computing Power Device (LCPD) has been defined conceptually. The paper brings out common attributes, security requirements and security challenges of all kinds of low computing power devices in one place so that common security solutions for these can be designed and implemented rather than doing this for each individual device type. A survey of existing recent security solutions for different LCPDs hasve been presented here. This paper has also provided possible security solutions for LCPDs which include identification of countermeasures against different threats and attacks on these devices, and choosing appropriate cryptographic mechanism for implementing the countermeasures efficiently.

“…Hence, it cannot be employed over larger blocks like ROM, EEPROM, etc 16 . Another variation of this technique is glue logic 78 which involves hiding the exact functionality of the chip using customized digital and logic circuitry to make the cloning using reverse engineering attack difficult. For example, data buses can be made hidden.…”

Deployment of smart card-based applications is becoming prevalent these days. Security of these applications depends upon the nature of underlying hardware and software platforms, cryptographic algorithms, along with a number of other security mechanisms. To develop a secure smart card-based application, preliminary evaluation of the security of embedded software as well as how that software will work in real time is required. Over the past few years, significant improvements have been made in smart card technology for its large-scale acceptance. However, attackers are in continuous search for exploiting the unknown issues related to this technology. This survey discusses smart card technology in detail and provides a comprehensive taxonomy of security attacks on smart card-based applications and their countermeasures. In addition, it covers some of the open source tools available for its development. Finally, it provides a brief outline of some of the major open challenges and future research directions that are yet to be explored.
