“…The importance of cyber security in the IoT layer is emphasized in the European Cyber Security strategy [21] as well as studies from both academic and international organizations [22,23]. Research from the literature on the standards, protocols, and technologies used in the IoT space further highlight the fragmentation of the landscape, which in turns introduces additional difficulties in implementing an effective strategy against cyber attacks [24][25][26][27]. Recent advances in the cyber threat mitigation strategies increasingly make use of statistical and machine learning methods, which rely on access to large datasets and real time information from the IoT layer [28][29][30][31].…”

Contextual data are receiving increasing attention in Smart Cities as they enable the development and delivery of smart services for their citizens. The homogenization of contextual data flows has become an important topic for standardization bodies as they attempt to enable data flow control and vendor-independent solutions. Buildings are a critical component of cities, due to their role in several dimensions of Smart Cities (including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals); these may include the monitoring of their operation, maintenance, energy consumption, ability to respond in emergencies, and people flows, all of which affect the sustainability of a Smart City’s ecosystem. In this respect, Building Information Management Systems and Building Infrastructure Management Systems can benefit from this standardization. This paper presents how a novel solution named Smart-City-as-Hub can homogenize building contextual data and enable smart services’ development and delivery based on these data. The analysis of the data from several IoT deployments in public school buildings is the method used to highlight the segmentation and fragmentation of the IoT landscape and to present the benefits that the Smart-City-as-Hub provides in this context. The ways in which the Smart-City-as-Hub concept can mitigate these challenges and enable Smart City stakeholders to concentrate their efforts on developing value-added services is presented in the discussion section. By providing real-life data of the IoT devices deployed in Smart City projects, this study aims to further advance research pursuing the homogenization and standardization of Smart City flows.

“…The use of a signcryption cryptosystem has eradicated this shortcoming. 35,36 Zheng 13 established the first signcryption system to decrease the computational and transmission costs of separate and different encryption and signature schemes by combining them into a single unit entitled signcryption. It accomplishes both the goals of digital signature and public key encryption at once.…”

Many different sectors are beginning to deploy cyber‐physical systems (CPS) and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices, including wearables, sensors, and critical infrastructure. In order to ensure that the device's data remains confidential, it must be encrypted prior to transmission. However, obtaining authenticity and integrity in IIoT data is also crucial, and signcryption has been proposed as a solution to this challenge. An additional obstacle is how to search for signcrypted cloud data using plaintext keywords. In this paper, we suggest a plaintext‐checkable identity‐based signcryption for CPS towards IIoT (IBSC‐PCE), which enables plaintext searching of signcrypted cloud‐based data. We provide both confidentiality and integrity and also demonstrate the security of our approach under the q‐Diffie‐Hellman inversion problem (q‐DHIP). This problem has been shown to be secure in the random oracle model (ROM), which further reinforces the robustness of our approach. Compared to current state‐of‐the‐art methods, our proposed approach outperforms them.

“…Unauthorized nodes may access sensitive information if the keys cannot be updated. Once a passive malicious KGC appears, the KGC with the master key will be able to decipher any message and forge any signature [27,28], substantially reducing the security of the emergency logistics system. CL-PKC [29] provides an attractive alternative for lightweight identity authentication.…”

Perception Layer Lightweight Certificateless Authentication Scheme for IoT-Based Emergency Logistics

Emergency logistics is of great significance for supply security in emergencies. As a crucial component of strategic material reserve and allocation, emergency logistics is characterized by high levels of safety and efficacy. The security of the IoT-based emergency logistics system cannot be overstated, considering the potential damage caused by malicious accessors. Authentication is an essential means of system security. Existing certificateless authentication protocols are mostly based on bilinear pairings, which cannot match the objectives of emergency logistics networks for lightweight deployment and fast authentication of massive nodes. In this paper, we propose a lightweight certificateless authentication protocol (CL-LAP) without bilinear pairings. The security is determined by the discrete logarithm problem on elliptic curves. Nonlinear pairings guarantee energy efficiency and minimum computation cost. In addition, we use batch verification to reduce the authentication cost and tackle the problem of quick authentication in broadcast messages. We conduct a security analysis on the proposed CL-LAP under the random oracle model to demonstrate that the proposed scheme can withstand common security threats and provide the necessary security for the perception layer. The performance analysis indicates that the suggested scheme is less complex and more efficient than similar schemes with the same level of security.
