Abstract:: Internet of Things (IoT) faces a variety of challenges and issues in administering security due to its heterogeneous nature and open communication medium. The fundamental security requirement of authentication is expected to secure the communication between the devices from anonymous access. In this article, we present a distributed time-dependent key management (DTKM) technique for securing the communication sessions of the IoT devices. This key management technique considers the communication time and interval of the devices independently to generate session keys for authentication. Key management is preceded by the consideration of request authentication and resource utilization. Based on the communication time session, the validity of the keys is determined and is updated with the current random number consideration for authentication. This helps to prevent unnecessary exploitation of storage and also reduces computation time.

With the advancements in wireless internet technology, a new computing ecosystem, the Internet of Things(IoT), has ushered in numerous devices in many areas in our life as well as in industries. The IoT is a computing notion that describes a scenario in which objects we use everyday are accessible using the internet and can be controlled from anywhere (Kung, Y.F., et al., 2018. Home Monitoring System Based Internet of Things. 2018 IEEE International Conference on Applied System Invention (ICASI), April; IEEE. pp.325–327; Singh, S. and Singh, N., 2015. Internet of Things (IoT): Security Challenges, Business Opportunities and Reference Architecture for E-Commerce. 2015 International Conference on Green Computing and Internet of Things (ICGCIoT), October; IEEE. pp.1577–1581). It could comprise devices with sensors to gather and broadcast data over the Internet (Singh, S. and Singh, N., 2015. Internet of Things (IoT): Security Challenges, Business Opportunities and Reference Architecture for E-Commerce. 2015 International Conference on Green Computing and Internet of Things (ICGCIoT), October; IEEE. pp.1577–1581). As per report of the research firm Gartner, the number of IoT objects will surpass 11.2 billion by 2018, and 20.4 billion by 2020. By 2020, the IoT industries will make revenue of almost 3 trillion US Dollars. As IoT devices are largely used in various areas of importance, it will definitely bring a lot of interests to hackers. It is worthwhile to quote here that hackers took away more than Rs 78 crore by hacking into router of Cosmos Bank based in Pune by duplicating debit cards in August, 2018. They carried out about 12 thousand unethical transactions worth Rs 78 crore in 28 countries. Hence, it is necessary to consider data privacy so that we can protect the data with limited system resource and technology. This paper proposes a new key management scheme with entity authentication for IoT devices. The proposed scheme uses modified Tate pairing. The presented scheme is apposite for IoT devices such as sensor networks due to their lower computational requirements.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has changed our lives drastically. Customers, regulatory bodies, and industrial partners are driving us to use IoT. Although IoT provides new opportunities, security remains a key concern while providing various services. It is especially challenging how the data generated from IoT devices can be protected from potential security attacks and how to safeguard the exchange of these data while transiting through different nodes and gateways. In this research, we aim to ensure a safe IoT environment by proposing an efficient key management technique that uses a combination of symmetric and asymmetric cryptosystem to obtain the speed of the former as well as the security benefits of the latter. Our proposal considers a set of Smart Objects (SO) capable of key registration, generation and distribution for IoT data transmission. We used the open-source Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol to facilitate communications between the source and the destination nodes. The suitability of the proposed approach is measured experimentally and the results are comparable to existing works with respect to key conversion time, algorithm execution time, number of reuse connections, and bandwidth utilization.

Security is one of the major concerns of the Internet of Things (IoT) wireless technologies. LoRaWAN is one of the emerging Low Power Wide Area Networks being developed for IoT applications. The latest LoRaWAN release v.1.1 has provided a security framework that includes data confidentiality protection, data integrity check, device authentication and key management. However, its key management part is only ambiguously defined. In this paper, a complete key management scheme is proposed for LoRaWAN. The scheme addresses key updating, key generation, key backup, and key backward compatibility. The proposed scheme was shown not only to enhance the current LoRaWAN standard, but also to meet the primary design consideration of LoRaWAN, i.e., low power consumption.
