“…Basically, we highlight resources constraints, heterogeneity and scalability challenges which are more likely common to several applications. Indeed, most of applications operate in highly distributed environments with the use of heterogeneous smart objects, sensors and actuators that are limited in terms of power and computation resources [94,111]. These three challenges make the security very hard to solve with current approaches.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the promising technologies that has attracted a lot of attention in both industrial and academic fields these years. It aims to integrate seamlessly both physical and digital worlds in one single ecosystem that makes up a new intelligent era of Internet. This technology offers a huge business value for organizations and provides opportunities for many existing applications such as energy, healthcare and other sectors. However, as new emergent technology, IoT suffers from several security issues which are most challenging than those from other fields regarding its complex environment and resources-constrained IoT devices. A lot of researches have been initiated in order to provide efficient security solutions in IoT, particularly to address resources constraints and scalability issues. Furthermore, some technologies related to networking and cryptocurrency fields such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Blockchain are revolutionizing the world of the Internet of Things thanks to their efficiency and scalability. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive top down survey of the most recent proposed security and privacy solutions in IoT. We discuss particularly the benefits that new approaches such as blockchain and Software Defined Networking can bring to the security and the privacy in IoT in terms of flexibility and scalability. Finally, we give a general classification of existing solutions and comparison based on important parameters.

Internet of things (IoT) has described a futurevision of internetwhere users, computing system, and everyday objects possessing sensing and actuating capabilities are part of distributed applications and required to support standard internet communication with more powerful device or internet hosts. This vision necessitates the security mechanisms for end-to-end communication. A key management protocol is critical to ensuring the secure exchange of data between interconnecting entities, but due to the nature of this communication system where a high resource constrained node may be communicating with node with high energy makes the application of existing key management protocols impossible. In this paper, we propose a new lightweight key management protocol that allows the constrained node in 6loWPAN network to transmit captured data to internet host in secure channel. This protocol is based on cooperation of selected 6loWPAN routers to participate in computation of highly consuming cryptographic primitives. Our protocol is assessed with AVISPA tool, the results show that our scheme ensured security properties. These technologies will interact with physical phenomena by employing more constrained sensing platforms and low-energy wireless communications, therefore, end-to-end communication between constrained sensing devices and other Internet host will be a fundamental requirement of many sensing application using these technologies, this aspects that seriously complicate the design and adoption of appropriate security mechanisms especially end-to-end security mechanisms.

“…Using local knowledge of the shared nonce, each member can generate and share a large number of secure keys. We assume that before joining the group the requesting member/group is authenticated by an independent authentication entity using independent authentication protocol, largely discussed in literature [20][21][22][23], and further assume that the secrete nonce of sponsor member is known to the authentication entity. In the subsequent section, we explain the characteristics of the group and the keying system in detail.…”

Abstract-To accomplish secure group communication, it is essential to share a unique cryptographic key among group members. The underlying challenges to group key agreement are scalability, efficiency, and security. In a dynamic group environment, the rekeying process is more frequent; therefore, it is more crucial to design an efficient group key agreement protocol. Moreover, with the emergence of various group-based services, it is becoming common for several multicast groups to coexist in the same network. These multicast groups may have several shared users; a join or leave request by a single user can trigger regeneration of multiple group keys. Under the given circumstances the rekeying process becomes a challenging task. In this work, we propose a novel methodology for group key agreement which exploits the state vectors of group members. The state vector is a set of randomly generated nonce instances which determine the logical link between group members and which empowers the group member to generate multiple cryptographic keys independently. Using local knowledge of a secret nonce, each member can generate and share a large number of secure keys, indicating that SGRS inherently provides a considerable amount of secure subgroup multicast communication using subgroup multicasting keys derived from local state vectors. The resulting protocol is secure and efficient in terms of both communication and computation.Index Terms-Group key agreement, resource sharing, multicast security, dynamic system, scalability, confidentiality, rekeying I. INTRODUCTIONN the recent past with the advent of fast networking technologies, there has been a profound increase in the speed of the Internet and the degree of connectivity. In addition, with the emergence of new Internet applications such as video conferencing, online joint workspaces, group chat, multi-user games and online social networking applications, numerous possibilities for group communications have been created. Group participants share common interests and share the responsibility of secure group communication. In group communication, agreement regarding a secure group key is one of the most important and challenging tasks. Specifically, to maintain a secure group key in a dynamic environment This work was supported by the ICT R&D program of MSIP/IITP. [R-20160302-003082 becomes more difficult as the reestablishment of the group key should be rapid and lightweight with regard to complexity. Secure rekeying becomes an even more challenging task in resource-limited networks such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs) [1] and body-area networks (WBAN) [2], as most conventional cryptographic mechanisms and security protocols are not suitable for resource-limited WSNs or WBANs. For example, very efficient public key algorithms, such as ECC [3], need a fraction of a second to execute encryption/decryption procedures, while a symmetric key algorithm such as RC5 [3] needs only a fraction of a millisecond to perform encryption and decryption procedures [4][5]. For computa...
