Trusted authority based session key agreement and authentication algorithm for smart grid networks

Wireless communication employs radio technology to facilitate data transmission without any fixed infrastructures. A mobile ad hoc network is an example of this data transmission technique, which comprises of devices such as smart phones, laptops and printers. Some of the key features of mobile ad hoc networks include self-creation, self-organization and also self-administration. Owing to the frequent mobility of the network nodes and the dynamic topology, mobile ad hoc networks are vulnerable to numerous security threats. For instance, the nodes are open and the links can be disconnected, leading to the degradation of network performance. To mitigate these problems, several protocols and techniques have been proposed in literature. This paper provides some detailed review of these protocols, as well as the discussion of other state of the art protocols that have been developed to cope with challenges of the legacy routing and security protocols. These protocols were established to be either proactive or reactive. In addition, it has been noted that these protocols have some merits as well as challenges that may impede their applicability. Consequently, more efficient and secure routing protocols are required for optimal network performance. Therefore, some recommendations are given towards the end of this paper on some features that ideal routing and security protocol should have.

“…To address this challenge, other privacy-preserving authentication (PPA) protocols have been presented in [81], [82], [83], [84], [85] and [86]. Unfortunately, these protocols generally do not provide perfect forward secrecy [87]. To prevent data manipulation over the communication channels and boost trust [88], Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have been deployed.…”

Secure signaling and traffic exchanges in smart cities: A critical review of the current trends

The need to enhance convenience, transparency and reduce costs has led to the adoption of smart cities in most countries. In this environment, a myriad of internet of things devices such as sensors and actuators exchange large volumes of highly sensitive and private data. There is therefore need to develop security frameworks, protocols and architectures to offer the much required protection to the exchanged data. To this end, numerous schemes have been put forward by various researchers over the recent past. In this paper, a broad review is provided of the security, privacy and performance issues of these schemes in a smart city environment. Based on the obtained results, it is evident that the attainment of ideal security and privacy for the data exchanged over open wireless channels is an uphill task. Therefore, some recommendations are given on how best the security solutions should be tailored to bridge this gap.

“…The authors in [21] show that their protocol is resistant against MitM, packet replays, impersonation, forgery and privileged insider attacks. However, the provable security [22] component of this protocol is missing. On the other hand, the scheme in [2] is shown to be robust against many security attacks and also offers information privacy.…”

The internet of medical things has been developed to facilitate remote monitoring of the patients as well as the elderly. Unfortunately, the communication between the remote patients and the medical doctors is the open wireless channels. Therefore, the data transmitted can be eavesdropped, intercepted, replayed or modified. This poses serious challenges to patient privacy as well as endangering patient life. To curb this, numerous schemes have been put forward by various researchers over the recent past. In this paper, we provide an extensive review of these schemes in an effort to identify any gaps. Consequently, we show that the current security and privacy preservation schemes have many challenges that render the communication process insecure or inefficient. As such, we offer some suggestions for the requirements of an ideal security technique that will not only be efficient but also provably secure.
