With the development of cloud computing and communication technology, users can access the internet of things (IoT) services provided in various environments, including smart home, smart factory, and smart healthcare. However, a user is insecure various types of attacks, because sensitive information is often transmitted via an open channel. Therefore, secure authentication schemes are essential to provide IoT services for legal users. In 2019, Pelaez et al. presented a lightweight IoT-based authentication scheme in cloud computing environment. However, we prove that Pelaez et al.’s scheme cannot prevent various types of attacks such as impersonation, session key disclosure, and replay attacks and cannot provide mutual authentication and anonymity. In this paper, we present a secure and lightweight three-factor authentication scheme for IoT in cloud computing environment to resolve these security problems. The proposed scheme can withstand various attacks and provide secure mutual authentication and anonymity by utilizing secret parameters and biometric. We also show that our scheme achieves secure mutual authentication using Burrows–Abadi–Needham logic analysis. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our scheme resists replay and man-in-the-middle attacks usingthe automated validation of internet security protocols and applications (AVISPA) simulation tool. Finally, we compare the performance and the security features of the proposed scheme with some existing schemes. Consequently, we provide better safety and efficiency than related schemes and the proposed scheme is suitable for practical IoT-based cloud computing environment.

This paper draws on the principle of identity-based public key encryption (IBE) system algorithm. A suitable Identity authentication scheme for cloud computing environment is proposed. Security analysis of the scheme is given. The proposed scheme using the bidirectional signature between Client and cloud server has solved the safety verification audit, and realized identity authentication in cloud computing. We provide end-to-end authentication instead of trusted third party, which solve the problem of Key Escrow and improve the efficiency of the management of the identity authentication.

With the popularity of cloud computing, information security issues in the cloud environment are becoming more and more prominent. As the first line of defense to ensure cloud computing security, user authentication has attracted extensive attention. Though considerable efforts have been paid for a secure and practical authentication scheme in cloud computing environment, most attempts ended in failure. The design of a secure and efficient user authentication scheme for cloud computing remains a challenge on the one hand and user’s smart card or mobile devices are of limited resource; on the other hand, with the combination of cloud computing and the Internet of Things, applications in cloud environments often need to meet various security requirements and are vulnerable to more attacks. In 2018, Amin et al. proposed an enhanced user authentication scheme in cloud computing, hoping to overcome the identified security flaws of two previous schemes. However, after a scrutinization of their scheme, we revealed that it still suffers from the same attacks (such as no user anonymity, no forward secrecy, and being vulnerable to offline dictionary attack) as the two schemes they compromised. Consequently, we take the scheme of Amin et al. (2018) as a study case, we discussed the inherent reason and the corresponding solutions to authentication schemes for cloud computing environment in detail. Next, we not only proposed an enhanced secure and efficient scheme, but also explained the design rationales for a secure cloud environment protocol. Finally, we applied BAN logic and heuristic analysis to show the security of the protocol and compared our scheme with related schemes. The results manifest the superiority of our scheme.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is currently the most popular field in communication and information techniques. However, designing a secure and reliable authentication scheme for IoT-based architectures is still a challenge. In 2019, Zhou et al. showed that schemes pro-posed by Amin et al. and Maitra et al. are vulnerable to off-line guessing attacks, user tracking attacks, etc. On this basis, a lightweight authentication scheme based on IoT is proposed, and an authentication scheme based on IoT is proposed, which can resist various types of attacks and realize key security features such as user audit, mutual authentication, and session security. However, we found weaknesses in the scheme upon evaluation. Hence, we proposed an enhanced scheme based on their mechanism, thus achieving the security requirements and resisting well-known attacks.

Recent advancements in internet technology and the infrastructure have attracted more people and organizations to do everything online. Internet technologies have provided amazing and smooth ease for electronic sales and purchases. However, many people have refused to use these internet technologies in electronic purchases because of unstable and insecure forms. New hacking techniques and new types of attacks have been tackled to make these internet technologies better and safer. Smartcard-based password authentication schemes have been the mainstream in recent years, featuring their highly lightweight, easy-to-use equipment and lowcost apps. Various secure and faster authentication schemes have been proposed in the literature. However, most of the existing authentication schemes have found vulnerable to recent attacks and have security flaws. This paper provides and efficient way for authentication using the partial discrete logarithm and sub-tree structure. The proposed scheme has seen effective and more useful in cloud computing environment. The analysis based on the security and the computational cost shows that the proposed authentication scheme proves to be more secure and efficient compared to other protocols that serve the same purposes.
