“…For the ECC computations, we used TinyECC library [42] [43] which supports all operations, including point addition, point doubling and point multiplication, exponentiation operations for the TelsoB device. In our experiment settings, we used MD5 function for one-way hashing as the base hash functions.…”

Smart meters are considered as foundational part of the smart metering infrastructure (SMI) in smart energy networks. Smart meter is a digital device that makes use of twoway communication between consumer and utility to exchange, manage and control energy consumptions within a home. However, despite all the features, a smart meter raises several securityrelated concerns. For instance, how to exchange data between the legal entities (e.g., smart meter and utility server) while maintaining privacy of the consumer. To address these concerns, authentication and key agreement in SMI can provide important security properties that not only to maintain a trust between the legitimate entities but also to satisfy other security services. This work presents a lightweight authentication and key agreement (LAKA) that enables trust, anonymity, integrity and adequate security in the domain of smart energy network. The proposed scheme employs hybrid cryptography to facilitate mutual trust (authentication), dynamic session key, integrity, and anonymity. We justify the feasibility of the proposed scheme with a testbed using 802.15.4 based device (i.e., smart meter). Moreover, through the security and performance analysis, we show that the proposed scheme is more effective and energy efficient compared to the previous schemes.

“…DCapBAC allows a distributed approach in which constrained devices are enabled with authorization logic by adapting the communication technologies and data-interchange format. Specifically, it makes use of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) [42] as representation format for the token, the use of emerging communication protocols such as CoAP and 6LoWPAN, as well as a set of cryptographic optimizations for ECC [43].…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the current technology revolution that is intended to transform the current environment into a more pervasive and ubiquitous world. In this emerging ecosystem, the application of standard security technologies has to cope with the inherent nature of constrained physical devices, which are seamlessly integrated into the Internet infrastructure. This work proposes a set of lightweight authentication and authorization mechanisms in order to support smart objects during their life cycle. Furthermore, such mechanisms are framed within a proposed security framework, which is compliant with the Architectural Reference Model (ARM), recently presented by the EU FP7 IoTA project. The resulting architecture is intended to provide a holistic security approach to be leveraged in the design of novel and lightweight security protocols for IoT constrained environments.

“…Although the proposed scheme uses the tiny ECC [38] and has AES embedded in the WISP5 platform, its heaviness is apparent from the results. However, taking the algorithms used in the proposed protocol, the results reported by Marin et al [43] indicate that each point addition and point doubling on MSP430 require 22,981.05 and 25,743.13 CPU [45], using the same codes, the response times may decrease to half within maximum two years.…”

Information in patients’ medical histories is subject to various security and privacy concerns. Meanwhile, any modification or error in a patient’s medical data may cause serious or even fatal harm. To protect and transfer this valuable and sensitive information in a secure manner, radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has been widely adopted in healthcare systems and is being deployed in many hospitals. In this paper, we propose a mutual authentication protocol for RFID tags based on elliptic curve cryptography and advanced encryption standard. Unlike existing authentication protocols, which only send the tag ID securely, the proposed protocol could also send the valuable data stored in the tag in an encrypted pattern. The proposed protocol is not simply a theoretical construct; it has been coded and tested on an experimental RFID tag. The proposed scheme achieves mutual authentication in just two steps and satisfies all the essential security requirements of RFID-based healthcare systems.
