Lightweight Authentication Protocol in Internet-of-Things

Abstract

Internet of Things is the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices, called IoT devices which are connected to Cloud Servers, which help them perform many functions, including, but not limited to security protocols. However, the distance between the Cloud Server and the end device could hamper the connectivity and also risk the security. Authentication is one of the major issues that needs to be taken care of in this scenario. This paper aims to look into this issue as well as to provide a viable solution.
