Untraceable and Unclonable Sensor Movement in the Distributed IoT Environment

Abstract

This disruptive era has a significant impact on the developing technologies in human beings, such as Internet of Things (IoT). IoT allows people and devices to transmit their data, hence intelligent environments, such as intelligent healthcare system, smart transportation, smart city, etc, are invented. Unfortunately, the wireless-based communication used by IoT opens an adversary to eavesdrop, delete, and alter the data transmitted to each device. In additional, the adversary can perform severe attacks, such as cloning, impersonation, and others. On the other hand, IoT opens a new challenge for achieving the security properties in preserving privacy in untraceable and unclonable device movement. This paper proposed the unclonable and untraceable sensor movement in the distributed IoT environments to resolve the aforementioned problems. The informally and formally analyses were used to ensure that our proposal has achieved security features and withstood from various attacks. Later, a comparison with the related protocols in the computational complexity will make our proposed protocol suitable for the IoT environment.
