The Performance of Blum-Blum-Shub Elliptic Curve Pseudorandom Number Generator as WiFi Protected Access 2 Security Key Generator

Authentication of IoT Device and IoT Server Using Security Key

“…According to [13], the fact that Wi-Fi networks or WLAN technology rely on radio frequency technology for the transmission of connection is associated with a wide range of security vulnerabilities. Its broadcast nature makes it easy even for the tra c that has already been encrypted to intercepted with ease making it vulnerable to attacks like jamming and eavesdropping [13]. Nonetheless, the security challenges that have thus far been linked with these Wi-Fi networks have not been su cient to constraint the need for the establishment of ubiquitous connectivity.…”

“…They include computer hacking, nancial heists, identity theft, and so forth. The major concern here is that these activities are mainly encouraged by poor security behavior and practices as well as a weak understanding of the whole idea of internet security and its effects [13].…”

“…Today, WAP2 or the IEEE 802.11i is considered as the core security standard that is applied globally when it comes to the encryption of Wi-Fi networks that could in some way become compromised by cyber-attackers. Experts believe that because Wi-Fi networks could be intercepted or sniffed with ease, it is important to use strong passwords that could counter or slow down the use of brute force or dictionary techniques [13]. Amidst such security recommendations, it is still unfortunate that key generation algorithms for routers of Wi-Fi networks have been receiving less attention from research bodies amidst the time when blog posts, videos, and hacker websites are continuing to ourish while offering enlightenment on how to crack WPA2 security standards.…”

“…According to [13] are imperative that despite being overlooked in many instances, microcontrollers are the central components that have been embodied in systems that have the underlying capability of driving the transition towards the adoption of the IoT. Consequently, microcontrollers have not only less costly but are small and can be handled with ease leave alone the fact that they can be applied in a wide range of applications [14].…”

Performance Analysis of Cryptographic Pseudorandom Number Generators

“…In article [30], the Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), which exists in wireless routers, was assumed to follow a more secure security protocol for networks, although partial key vulnerability was exposed. The strength of BBS lies in IFP, whereas PRNG strength lies in DLP.…”
