物联网中适用于野外战场的基于口令的安全通信方案

Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a part of the Internet of Things (IoT). In battlefield communication systems, ground soldiers, tanks, and unmanned aerial vehicles comprise a heterogeneous MANET. In 2006, Byun et al. proposed the first constant-round password-based group key exchange with different passwords for such networks. In 2008, Nam et al. discovered the shortcomings of the scheme, and modified it. But the works only provide the group key. In this paper, we propose a password-based secure communication scheme for the IoT, which could be applied in the battlefield communication systems and support dynamic group, in which the nodes join or leave. By performing the scheme, the nodes in the heterogeneous MANET can realize secure broadcast, secure unicast, and secure direct communication across realms. After the analyses, we demonstrate that the scheme is secure and efficient.     

An efficient lightweight authentication scheme for human-centered industrial Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) specifies a transparent and coherent integration of assorted and composite nodes. Unification of these nodes with large resources and servers has brought advancement in technology for industrial and government services. The industrial IoT (IIoT), with smart nodes, enhance the development and manufacturing of industrial process, which is on demand now. However, the security concern is substantial, and it is required to control to perform prosperous assimilation of IIoT. Authentication of these smart nodes and establishing mutual trust among them is essential to keep vulnerabilities and potential risks out. Hence, this paper presents an efficient lightweight secure authentication protocol from the perspective of human-centered IIoT. This proposed scheme assumes a registration center which simply generates public and secret information for a node when it initially joins the network. Once registration is done, the registration center is not needed anymore, and advanced processes like mutual authentication, secure key exchange, and communications are independently done by nodes involved. Furthermore, we show that this scheme can reduce exponential computations and computational overhead and resolves various possible attacks.     

Secure multi‐factor remote user authentication scheme for Internet of Things environments

Because of the exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT), several services are being developed. These services can be accessed through smart gadgets by the user at any place, every time and anywhere. This makes security and privacy central to IoT environments. In this paper, we propose a lightweight, robust, and multi‐factor remote user authentication and key agreement scheme for IoT environments. Using this protocol, any authorized user can access and gather real‐time sensor data from the IoT nodes. Before gaining access to any IoT node, the user must first get authenticated by the gateway node as well as the IoT node. The proposed protocol is based on XOR and hash operations, and includes: (i) a 3‐factor authentication (ie, password, biometrics, and smart device); (ii) mutual authentication ; (iii) shared session key ; and (iv) key freshness . It satisfies desirable security attributes and maintains acceptable efficiency in terms of the computational overheads for resource constrained IoT environment. Further, the informal and formal security analysis using AVISPA proves security strength of the protocol and its robustness against all possible security threats. Simulation results also prove that the scheme is secure against attacks.     

Fog-Sec: Secure end-to-end communication in fog-enabled IoT network using permissioned blockchain system

The technological integration of the Internet of Things (IoT)-Cloud paradigm has enabled intelligent linkages of things, data, processes, and people for efficient decision making without human intervention. However, it poses various challenges for IoT networks that cannot handle large amounts of operation technology (OT) data due to physical storage shortages, excessive latency, higher transfer costs, a lack of context awareness, impractical resiliency, and so on. As a result, the fog network emerged as a new computing model for providing computing capacity closer to IoT edge devices. The IoT-Fog-Cloud network, on the other hand, is more vulnerable to multiple security flaws, such as missing key management problems, inappropriate access control, inadequate software update mechanism, insecure configuration files and default passwords, missing communication security, and secure key exchange algorithms over unsecured channels. Therefore, these networks cannot make good security decisions, which are significantly easier to hack than to defend the fog-enabled IoT environment. This paper proposes the cooperative flow for securing edge devices in fog-enabled IoT networks using a permissioned blockchain system (pBCS). The proposed fog-enabled IoT network provides efficient security solutions for key management issues, communication security, and secure key exchange mechanism using a blockchain system. To secure the fog-based IoT network, we proposed a mechanism for identification and authentication among fog, gateway, and edge nodes that should register with the blockchain network. The fog nodes maintain the blockchain system and hold a shared smart contract for validating edge devices. The participating fog nodes serve as validators and maintain a distributed ledger/blockchain to authenticate and validate the request of the edge nodes. The network services can only be accessed by nodes that have been authenticated against the blockchain system. We implemented the proposed pBCS network using the private Ethereum 2.0 that enables secure device-to-device communication and demonstrated performance metrics such as throughput, transaction delay, block creation response time, communication, and computation overhead using state-of-the-art techniques. Finally, we conducted a security analysis of the communication network to protect the IoT edge devices from unauthorized malicious nodes without data loss.     

ECC-CoAP: Elliptic Curve Cryptography Based Constraint Application Protocol for Internet of Things

Constraint Application Protocol (CoAP), an application layer based protocol, is a compressed version of HTTP protocol that is used for communication between lightweight resource constraint devices in Internet of Things (IoT) network. The CoAP protocol is generally associated with connectionless User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and works based on Representational State Transfer architecture. The CoAP is associated with Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol for establishing a secure session using the existing algorithms like Lightweight Establishment of Secure Session for communication between various IoT devices and remote server. However, several limitations regarding the key management, session establishment and multi-cast message communication within the DTLS layer are present in CoAP. Hence, development of an efficient protocol for secure session establishment of CoAP is required for IoT communication. Thus, to overcome the existing limitations related to key management and multicast security in CoAP, we have proposed an efficient and secure communication scheme to establish secure session key between IoT devices and remote server using lightweight elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). The proposed ECC-based CoAP is referred to as ECC-CoAP that provides a CoAP implementation for authentication in IoT network. A number of well-known cryptographic attacks are analyzed for validating the security strength of the ECC-CoAP and found that all these attacks are well defended. The performance analysis of the ECC-CoAP shows that our scheme is lightweight and secure.

     

An efficient heterogeneous key management approach for secure multicast communications in ad hoc networks

In a mobile wireless ad hoc network, mobile nodes cooperate to form a network without using any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. Instead, the mobile nodes forward packets for each other, allowing communication among nodes outside wireless transmission range. As the use of wireless networks increases, security in this domain becomes a very real concern. One fundamental aspect of providing confidentiality and authentication is key distribution. While public-key encryption has provided these properties historically, ad hoc networks are resource constrained and benefit from symmetric key encryption. In this paper, we propose a new key management mechanism to support secure group multicast communications in ad hoc networks. The scheme proposes a dynamic construction of hierarchical clusters based on a novel density function adapted to frequent topology changes. The presented mechanism ensures a fast and efficient key management with respect to the sequential 1 to n multicast service.     

多用户大规模MIMO自适应安全传输策略

Group and hierarchical key management for secure communications in internet of things

Different devices with different characteristics form a network to communicate among themselves in Internet of Things (IoT). Thus, IoT is of heterogeneous in nature. Also, Internet plays a major role in IoT. So, issues related to security in Internet become issues of IoT also. Hence, the group and hierarchical management scheme for solving security issues in Internet of Things is proposed in this paper. The devices in the network are formed into groups. One of the devices is selected as a leader of each group. The communication of the devices from each group takes place with the help of the leader of the corresponding group using encrypted key to enhance the security in the network. Blom's key predistribution technique is used to establish secure communication among any nodes of group. The hierarchy is maintained such that the security can be increased further, but the delay is increased as it takes time to encrypt at every level of hierarchy. Hence, the numbers of levels of hierarchy need to be optimized such that delay is balanced. Hence, this algorithm is more suitable for delay‐tolerant applications. The performance of the proposed Algorithm is evaluated and is proved to perform better when compared with the legacy systems like Decentralized Batch‐based Group Key Management Protocol for Mobile Internet of Things (DBGK).     

An Enhanced Hierarchical Key Management Scheme for MANETs

Security is one of the major issues in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). Their natural characteristics make them vulnerable to numerous severe attacks. In this paper, we present an enhanced hierarchical key management scheme for secure group communications in MANETs. The proposed approach primarily aims at improving security and complexity, especially complexity in the level of ordinary members for joining or leaving processes to achieve the most possible dynamic characteristic of MANETs without neglecting network security. The proposal scheme is designed with the potential of developing an efficient model interested in keying applied on hierarchical structure to increase the security and make no need to apply rekeying of all group members in different sub-levels as made by hierarchical key management scheme (HKMS). Also, it reduces complexity of processing load, memory usage and improves resources. In the proposed model, each communication between two nodes have a unique key to make it more secure with encrypting messages by different keys for more than one time and support node flexibility. Experiments are carried out on the proposed scheme to show the effect of complexity on each node in different grades and results are compared with traditional HKMS.     

Authentication-based Access Control and Data Exchanging Mechanism of IoT Devices in Fog Computing Environment

The emergence of fog computing has witnessed a big role in initiating secure communication amongst users. Fog computing poses the ability to perform analysis, processing, and storage for a set of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Several IoT solutions are devised by utilizing the fog nodes to alleviate IoT devices from complex computation and heavy processing. This paper proposes an authentication scheme using fog nodes to manage IoT devices by providing security without considering a trusted third party. The proposed authentication scheme employed the benefits of fog node deployment. The authentication scheme using fog node offers reliable verification between the data owners and the requester without depending on the third party users. The proposed authentication scheme using fog nodes effectively solved the problems of a single point of failure in the storage system and offers many benefits by increasing the throughput and reducing the cost. The proposed scheme considers several entities, like end-users, IoT devices, fog nodes, and smart contracts, which help to administrate the authentication using access policies. The proposed authentication scheme using fog node provided superior results than other methods with minimal memory value of 4009.083 KB, minimal time of 76.915 s, and maximal Packet delivery ratio (PDR) of 76.
