Key Generation Based Fuzzy Logic and Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Internet of Things (IoT) Authentication

Internet of Things(IoT) is playing a pivotal role in our daily life as well as in various fields like Health, agriculture, industries etc. In the go, the data in the various IoT applications will be easily available to the physical dominion and thus the process of ensuringthe security of the data will be a major concern. For the extensive implementation of the numerous applications of IoT , the data security is a critical component. In our work, we have developed an encryption technique to secure the data of IoT. With the help of Merkle-Hellman encryption the data collected from the various IoT devices are first of all encrypted and then the secret message is generated with the help of Elliptic Curve Cryptography.

In The Wild

The Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in numerous devices in many areas in our life and in industries. It could comprise devices with sensors to gather and broadcast data over the internet. As the devices are IP-based and the media are shared, any user in the network can have an access to the communication contents. The only way to impose access control in the sensor networks is through cryptography. A key is applied to encrypt the communication to prevent from unauthorized access to the network. Choosing a suitable key management scheme is very important in sensor networks as it should satisfy the constraints of the sensors. There are two indispensable public cryptosystems available in the literatures-RSA and Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). ECC gives strong resistance to cryptanalytic attacks. So, it is used with smaller key sizes than RSA (Valenta, L., et al., 2018. In Search of CurveSwap: Measuring Elliptic Curve Implementations in the Wild. 2018 IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P), April; IEEE. pp.384–398). The most prettiness of using elliptic curve cryptography over other cryptosystems (i.e., RSA) is that it provides same security strength for a lesser key without breaching the system, thereby consuming less resources and ameliorating performances and fast data throughput of the devices. To choose a suitable public cryptosystem for use in IoT devices like sensor networks, elliptic curve cryptography and RSA are comparatively analyzed in this paper.

And Storage

internet of things is now everywhere and even if people are aware of it or not, it is part of our everyday life. For something that is so much in pace with our life, iot collects a lot of information about our day today life, which in case of a data leak or hijacking could lead to catastrophic effects in the society. Still iot devices are not manufactured keeping in mind the security factor. This paper dives into the problem of spoofing attacks dealt by iot devices and comes up with an authentication mechanism, which uses variants of elliptic curve cryptography to protect against such said attacks without exhausting the devices in case of computational power and storage area. The experimentation clearly revealed the strength of the scheme to mitigate spoofing attacks on the iot home networks.
