It becomes challenging to develop such efficient solutions to commensurate with the resource constraint nature of devices forming IoT. This paper presents an efficient scheme leveraging 3-factor authentication based upon user's smart card, password, and a fuzzy commitment. The mutual authentication attained between the key agents like remote user, Gateway node, and IoT device, with low overheads, adds novelty to our proposed scheme. The scheme provides a lightweight dynamic key exchange scheme to maintain forward secrecy and time stamps to thwart replay attacks. Implementation of the scheme using Elliptical curve cryptography over the primary field has kept it lightweight and hardens the scheme leveraging Elliptical Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP). Automated validation using the Scyther tool and Burrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN) logic validates that the scheme is resilient against attacks as claimed in the proposed scheme. The results have been further reinforced by simulation of the scheme over NS3. We evaluate our scheme's performance and compare it with other related schemes in respect of communication, computational and energy costs and find it efficient.

Its extension to the domain of image encryption using various mapping techniques has been analyzed in this paper. The efficiency of an encryption scheme based on ECC shall depend upon the appropriateness of mapping technique used to map pixels onto the Elliptic curve. Parameters like cost efficiency, Completeness, inversibility, and bandwidth used must be taken into consideration before designing any such mapping technique.

Some of these attacks can be launched by a laptop class adversary equipped with relatively powerful resources. In this paper, we simulate and analyse Black Hole and DoS by Hello Flooding attack in Wireless Sensor Networks. A generic WSN model has been created in QualNet and necessary changes have been done in the code library to simulate the attacks. Various parameters like throughput, packets dropped, end to end delay have been recorded and the analysis has been carried out to understand the impact of these attacks.

Security turns into the primary concern to manage in such sort of systems as customary Public key cryptography (PKC) algorithms are computionaly expensive and hence not feasible for WSN. As key exchange is significant in every cryptographic primitive, requirement for a proficient and secure key exchange gets to be imperative. In this paper, an authenticated key exchange algorithm based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has been presented for wireless sensor networks. The algorithm builds up a mutual key between two communicating nodes in an authenticated manner. The protocol is resistant against Man in the Middle Attack. The Shared Key can further be utilized for achieving any cryptographic service like authentication, Confidentiality etc. The developed protocol has been simulated in TinyOS using Tossim simulator. The protocol has also been run on MicaZ ...

The IoT data is transmitted over the internet to the cloud after collecting it from different sensors and nodes. While the number of devices connected to the internet is rising every day, several IoT vulnerabilities have come to the forefront. Therefore, security and privacy for resource-constrained IoT devices is a foremost important issue to resolve. The architecture of IoT mainly operates on a three-layer system consisting of a perception layer, an internet layer, and an application layer. The main aim of IoT security is to maintain confidentiality, integrity, data privacy, provide the user security along with the acceptable quality of service. This paper will analyze the security issues and possible attacks related to each layer of IoT architecture separately. Vulnerabilities of Message Queue Telemetry Transport, the application layer protocol has also been analyzed.

There deployment in hostile terrains and for mission critical applications touching human lives call for addressing their security issue. Especially under IoT and smart city projects like Padova Smart City project, the range of applications envisioned to be developed, would be tightly coupled to the physical world where security aspects would be paramount. This paper presents a light weight Authentication Framework which supports node registration, entity authentication, key establishment, new node injection and broadcast authentication of messages diffusing from base towards nodes in WSN. The solution leverages the low computational overheads associated with cryptographically secure one-way hash chains and ECC without using any digital signature algorithm. The usage of hidden generator point derived by using hash-chains provides defence against man-in-the middle attack a prominent feature in ECDH. The proposed framework is compared with other similar Schemes like Novel Access Control Protocol for secure Sensor Networks (NACP).

With each transmission/reception and computation, energy is being consumed and batteries get drained. The problem gets critical when the network is implemented under harsh environmental conditions like forests. Thus energy harvesting from environment becomes an important concern especially in case of WSN due to power concerns. In this paper a design is presented for the development of power management system in wireless sensor nodes. The design presented utilizes solar energy to improve the efficiency and duration of operation for sensor nodes. Experimental setup shall comprise of a PV based array simulator and a CPLD based power management module.

In comparison to RSA-based digital signatures, the ECC (Elliptical Curve Cryptography) based Signature schemes like ECDSA (Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) are more efficient and suited for a resource-constrained network like WSN. In a WSN, proper entity authentication is to be achieved before the sensor data is exchanged. The use of ECDSA is not suitable for achieving mutual authentication between the entities like the base station, cluster heads and nodes. Based on the study of ECDSA, the paper designs a mutual authentication protocol with the help of a computationally low signature scheme. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first digital signature based scheme which achieves mutual entity authentication. The paper also brings out performance parameters of the developed protocol.
