In the recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely deployed in different daily life aspects such as home automation, electronic health, the electric grid, etc. Nevertheless, the IoT paradigm raises major security and privacy issues. To secure the IoT devices, many research works have been conducted to counter those issues and discover a better way to remove those risks, or at least reduce their effects on the user's privacy and security requirements. This article mainly focuses on a critical review of the recent authentication techniques for IoT devices. First, this research presents a taxonomy of the current cryptography-based authentication schemes for IoT. In addition, this is followed by a discussion of the limitations, advantages, objectives, and attacks supported of current cryptography-based authentication schemes. Finally, the authors make in-depth study on the most relevant authentication schemes for IoT in the context of users, devices, and architecture that are needed to secure IoT environments and that are needed for improving IoT security and items to be addressed in the future.

As many vulnerabilities of one-time authentication systems have already been uncovered, there is a growing need and trend to adopt continuous authentication systems. Biometrics provides an excellent means for periodic verification of the authenticated users without breaking the continuity of a session. Nevertheless, as attacks to computing systems increase, biometric systems demand more user information in their operations, yielding privacy issues for users in biometric-based continuous authentication systems. However, the current state-of-the-art privacy technologies are not viable or costly for the continuous authentication systems, which require periodic real-time verification. In this article, we introduce a novel, lightweight, <underline>p</underline>rivacy-<underline>a</underline>ware, and secure <underline>c</underline>ontinuous <underline>a</underline>uthentication protocol called PACA. PACA is initiated through a password-based key exchange (PAKE) mechanism, and it continuously authenticates users based on their biometrics in a privacy-aware manner. Then, we design an actual continuous user authentication system under the proposed protocol. In this concrete system, we utilize a privacy-aware template matching technique and a wearable-assisted keystroke dynamics-based continuous authentication method. This provides privacy guarantees without relying on any trusted third party while allowing the comparison of noisy user inputs (due to biometric data) and yielding an efficient and lightweight protocol. Finally, we implement our system on an Apple smartwatch and perform experiments with real user data to evaluate the accuracy and resource consumption of our concrete system.

One of the IoT's greatest opportunity and application still lies ahead in the form of smart home. In this ubiquitous/automated environment, due to the most likely heterogeneity of objects, communication, topology, security protocols, and the computationally limited na- ture of IoT objects, conventional authentication schemes may not comply with IoT security requirements since they are considered impractical, weak, or outdated. This thesis proposes: (1) The design of a two-factor device-to-device (D2D) Mutual Authentication Scheme for Smart Homes using OTP over Infrared Channel (referred to as D2DA-OTP-IC scheme); (2) The design of two proxy-password protected OTP-based schemes for smart homes, namely, the Password Protected Inter-device OTP-based Authentication scheme over Infrared Chan- nel and the Password Protected Inter-device OTP-based Authentication scheme using public key infrastructure; and (3) The design of a RSA-based two-factor user Authentication scheme for Smart Home using Smart Card.

One of the significant challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT) is the provisioning of guaranteed security and privacy, considering the fact that IoT devices are resource-limited. Oftentimes, in IoT applications, remote users need to obtain real-time data, with guaranteed security and privacy, from resource-limited network nodes through the public Internet. For this purpose, the users need to establish a secure link with the network nodes. Though the IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN) adaptation layer standard offers IPv6 compatibility for resource-limited wireless networks, the fundamental 6LoWPAN structure ignores security and privacy characteristics. Thus, there is a pressing need to design a resource-efficient authenticated key exchange (AKE) scheme for ensuring secure communication in 6LoWPAN-based resource-limited networks. This paper proposes a resource-efficient secure remote user authentication scheme for 6LoWPAN-based IoT networks, called SRUA-IoT. SRUA-IoT achieves the authentication of remote users and enables the users and network entities to establish private session keys between themselves for indecipherable communication. To this end, SRUA-IoT uses a secure hash algorithm, exclusive-OR operation, and symmetric encryption primitive. We prove through informal security analysis that SRUA-IoT is secured against a variety of malicious attacks. We also prove the security strength of SRUA-IoT through formal security analysis conducted by employing the random oracle model. Additionally, we prove through Scyther-based validation that SRUA-IoT is resilient against various attacks. Likewise, we demonstrate that SRUA-IoT reduces the computational cost of the nodes and communication overheads of the network.

Recently, many mobile user authentication schemes with user anonymity for wireless communications have been proposed. In 2012, Li and Lee proposed a novel user authentication and privacy preserving scheme with smart cards for wireless communications. In 2013, Jeon et al. proposed an improved user authentication scheme, and claimed their scheme achieves user anonymity and more efficient. On the basis of their work, we put forward a new user authentication scheme using elliptic curve cryptography with user anonymity for wireless communications. The security and performance analysis show that the new scheme is more secure and efficient for wireless communications.

In recent years, several dynamic ID-based remote user authentication schemes have been proposed. In 2012, Wen and Li proposed a dynamic ID-based remote user authentication with key agreement scheme. They claimed that their scheme can resist impersonation attack and insider attack and provide anonymity for the users. However, we will show that Wen and Li's scheme cannot withstand insider attack and forward secrecy, does not provide anonymity for the users, and inefficiency for error password login. In this paper, we propose a novel ECC-based remote user authentication scheme which is immune to various known types of attack and is more secure and practical for mobile clients.

The distributed nature of Internet of Things (IoT) and its rapid increase on a large scale raises many security and privacy issues. Access control is one of the major challenges currently addressed through centralized approaches that may rely on a third party and they are constrained by availability and scalability, which may result in a performance bottleneck. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel solution to manage the delivery of lightweight and decentralized secure access control of an IoT system based on a multi-agent system and a blockchain. The main objective of the proposed solution is to build Blockchain Managers (BCMs) for securing IoT access control, as well as allowing for secure communication between local IoT devices. Moreover, the solution also enables secure communication between IoT devices, fog nodes and cloud computing.
