“…First of all, in the model given in Figure 3, the new approach for devices with private keys during the production consists of MNO, SP and end devices known as low-resource SIM cards. The proposed lightweight PQ-FLAT protocol has been utilized in the model developed in order to enhance secure communication between post-quantum SIM and SP [4]. At this stage, SIMs contact MNOs and request service.…”

“…In the both of presented approaches, the model structure of the FLAT protocol, which is an alternative to the high-cost cryptosystems usage, is evaluated as a solution. High-cost encryption operations for authentication in M2M devices may be easily performed with the FLAT protocol [4], [5]. FLAT is a set of protocols that enables low computing power devices such as M2M to operate together with high computing power devices such as service providers, identity providers, mobile network operators.…”

“…In the first stage [8], [10], SIMs approaches which have private keys in the production process, were studied. In the second stage, as in [4], [6], [17], SIMs approaches which do not have a private key in the production, were examined. As a result, capacity is emerged as a major problem in authentication procedures which is used to ensure secure communication of SIMs, since key exchange based process approaches are high costly computations.…”

In resource-constrained devices such as Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), the possibility of using authentication and key exchange methods, which include the mutual verification of two parties to ensure the security of communication, provides a significant advantage. As the cost efficient computations may not be efficiently performed on resource-constrained devices, security is the main problem for SIMs. With the advancing technology and the use of quantum computers, it is predicted that this may lead to threats. It is a well-known fact that security on traditional public key cryptosystems will become vulnerable by using quantum computers due to Shor's algorithm. In this paper, two different resistant to quantum attacks structures are proposed to ensure secure communication between SIM and service providers. In the proposed methods, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) is used for communication with resourceconstrained devices, and N-th degree Truncated polynomial Ring Units (NTRU) encryption system is used for communication with servers. Two methods are proposed, one with the private key and one without the private key in the production phase. This protocol provides authentication, data privacy and integrity for post-quantum SIM cards. The proposed method is inspired by the FLAT (Federated Lightweight Authentication) protocol. However, the main difference from the FLAT protocol is that it has more nodes and is resistant to quantum attacks.

SF-LAP: Secure M2M Communication in IIoT with a Single-Factor Lightweight Authentication Protocol

et al. 2022

Machine-to-machine communication allows smart devices like sensors, actuators, networks, gateways, and other controllers to communicate with one another. The industrial Internet of things (IIoT) has become a vital component. Many industrial devices are connected to perform a task automatically in machine-to-machine communication, but they are not properly secured, allowing an adversary to compromise them against a variety of attacks due to communication system vulnerabilities. Recently, a secure lightweight authentication protocol (SLAP) was proposed by Panda et al. They asserted that every known attack that could happen in the IIoT is deterred by their suggested protocol. In this study, we prove that the SLAP protocol is vulnerable to desynchronization, impersonation, replay, and eavesdropping attacks. To prevent these attacks and enhance that protocol, we need to implement a secure authentication mechanism that ensures the security of communication. This paper proposed a secure M2M Communication in IIoT with a single-factor lightweight authentication protocol (SF-LAP). Single-factor authentication is a simple and secure way to communicate. It uses less power and communication overhead while providing a secure mechanism for conversation. In the machine-to-machine (M2M) scenario, the proposed protocol uses an exclusive-OR operation and a hashing function to ensure secure communication between the sensor and the controller. The proposed mechanism uses a secure preshared key and timestamp technique to protect and safeguard this connection against desynchronization attacks and eavesdropping attacks. We used Burrows Abadi Needham (BAN) Gong, Needham, and Yahalom (GNY) logic, and the automated validation of Internet security protocols applications (AVISPA) tool for formal verification and perform a security analysis as an informal verification to make sure the suggested protocol is secure. Analysis that shows the SF-LAP consumes the least computing and communication overhead and is more secure because it prevents desynchronization and eavesdropping attacks to all of the known attacks that are modification attacks, tracing attacks, impersonation, man-in-the-middle, and replay attacks.

With the development of technology and its integration with scientific realities, computer systems continue to evolve as infrastructure. One of the most important obstacles in front of quantum computers with high‐speed processing is that its existing systems cause security vulnerabilities. Therefore, in order to take advantage of quantum systems, existing systems that are already secure must also be secure in the post‐quantum scenario. One of these systems is edge computing. There are challenges in terms of computational power for the implementation of pre‐ and post‐quantum methods in structures with resource‐constrained devices. This article reviews the post‐quantum security threats of edge devices and systems and the secure methods developed for them. Although there is relatively little research in this field, it remains relevant. In the studies reviewed, lattice‐based approaches are often highlighted for making edge systems quantum‐resistant. Additionally, these studies indicate that there has been an increasing trend in this field in recent years.This article is categorized under: Applications of Computational Statistics > Defense and National Security Algorithms and Computational Methods > Networks and Security
