Security and efficiency are the two main challenges for designing a smart home system. In this paper, by incorporating Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) into the elliptic curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH), a lightweight key agreement protocol for smart home systems is constructed. Firstly, one-way hash authentication is used to identify the sensor nodes instead of mutual authentication to reduce the authentication cost. Secondly, the CRT is introduced to enhance the security of the original ECDH key agreement. Security analysis showed that the proposed protocol can validate the data integrity and resist the replay attack, the man-in-middle attack, and other attacks. Performance analysis and experiments showed that the protocol achieves high security with low communication and computation costs, and can be implemented in smart home systems.

Authentication Schemes

An anonymous user authentication scheme allows a user, who wants to access a remote application server, to achieve mutual authentication and session key establishment with the server in an anonymous manner. To enhance the security of such authentication schemes, recent researches combined user’s biometrics with a password. However, these authentication schemes are designed for single server environment. So when a user wants to access different application servers, the user has to register many times. To solve this problem, Chuang and Chen proposed an anonymous multiserver authenticated key agreement scheme using smart cards together with passwords and biometrics. Chuang and Chen claimed that their scheme not only supports multiple servers but also achieves various security requirements. However, we show that this scheme is vulnerable to a masquerade attack, a smart card attack, a user impersonation attack, and a DoS attack and does not achieve perfect forward secrecy. We also propose a security enhanced anonymous multiserver authenticated key agreement scheme which addresses all the weaknesses identified in Chuang and Chen’s scheme.

Security is a major challenge in modern IoT based healthcare monitoring systems. It provides many benefits such as critical patient monitoring, remote diagnosis at anytime, anywhere. Hence, security of this data is essential when the healthcare professionals access it. Also, while storing the patients record; it must be kept safe from misuse and modification of data as other devices can easily track it. To prevent this type of threats, we have proposed a mutual authentication protocol to enhance health care security and to resist vulnerable attacks. The proposed scheme used Challenge response protocol for the authentication purpose and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol is used for generation of the session key generation. The security analysis of the proposed scheme shows that the scheme is more secure and resist all the major attacks as compared to other schemes. The Formal verification of this schema also ensures that it resists most probable attacks in this system. The result of the proposed authentication scheme shows that it has low computational and communicational load.

The internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing are evolving technologies in the information technology field. Merging the pervasive IoT technology with cloud computing is an innovative solution for better analytics and decision-making. Deployed IoT devices offload different types of data to the cloud, while cloud computing converges the infrastructure, links up the servers, analyzes information obtained from the IoT devices, reinforces processing power, and offers huge storage capacity. However, this merging is prone to various cyber threats that affect the IoT-Cloud environment. Mutual authentication is considered as the forefront mechanism for cyber-attacks as the IoT-Cloud participants have to ensure the authenticity of each other and generate a session key for securing the exchanged traffic. While designing these mechanisms, the constrained nature of the IoT devices must be taken into consideration. We proposed a novel lightweight protocol (Light-AHAKA) for authenticating IoT-Cloud elements and establishing a key agreement for encrypting the exchanged sensitive data was proposed. In this paper, the formal verification of (Light-AHAKA) was presented to prove and verify the correctness of our proposed protocol to ensure that the protocol is free from design flaws before the deployment phase. The verification is performed based on two different approaches, the strand space model and the automated validation of internet security protocols and applications (AVISPA) tool.

This paper proposes scheme can achieve mutual authentication and session key agreement based on multi-factor. It improves the scheme proposed by Chuang et al on protecting from the stolen smart card attack, impersonation attack, server spoofing attack and man-in-the-middle attack, and guaranteeing on the forward security. It solves the problem of weak resistance to attacks in single-factor authentication approaches, by combining the smart card with biometrics and password. It also guarantees the security of mutual identity authentication between users and servers and that of session keys. It consumes more computing resources that the Chuang’s scheme, but it can resist to several known attacks efficiently.

Machine Type Communication

Of late, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become one of the popular signaling protocols especially for the multimedia communication system. Various protocols have been proposed by researchers to ensure access independence, authentication, and Key Agreement security characteristic. With the extensive growth of cellular networks, mobile traffic connected with the advancements of the wireless communication channel. In this scenario, Machine Type Communication (MTC) plays a crucial role in line with Long Term Evaluation-Advanced Networks as their communication happened between Machine to machine without human intervention. In order to reach Mobile Type Transmission (MTT) security condition, the access verification process required to pursue the verification and Key Agreement protocol. Moreover, the development of Group premised communication and individual authentication mechanisms to every Machine Type Communication device (MTTD) would lead to signal-congestion in real-time networking scenarios. Jinguo et al. proposed a Group-Based Verification and Key-Agreement protocol with dynamically updating policy for mutual authentication. Especially, they chose an asynchronous secret shared key merged to work with Diffie-Hellman protocol for establishing disjoint verification and session-key establishment across LTE Advanced Networks. However, the DH algorithm could not provide message integrity to upgrade the security feature namely integrity. In this paper, the algorithms Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in addition to Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) can be integrated called an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)” which addresses verification and integrity.

Based on mutual authentication, the session key is established for communication nodes on the open network. In order to satisfy fine-grained access control for cloud storage, the two-party attribute-based key agreement protocol (TP-AB-KA) was proposed. However, the existing TP-AB-KA protocol is high in the cost of computation and communication and is not unfit for application in a mobile cloud setting because mobile devices are generally resource constrained. To solve the above issue, we propose a TP-AB-KA protocol with constant-size ciphertext and key. Our TP-AB-KA protocol is provable security in the standard model. The concrete proof is given under the augmented multisequence of exponents' decisional Diffie-Hellman (aMSE-DDH) hypothesis in the attribute-based BJM model (AB-BJM). Compared with the existing TP-AB-KA protocols, the computation cost and communication cost of our protocol are largely reduced.

Secure and efficient authentication mechanism becomes a major concern in cloud computing due to the data sharing among cloud server and user through internet. This paper proposed an efficient Hashing, Encryption and Chebyshev HEC-based authentication in order to provide security among data communication. With the formal and the informal security analysis, it has been demonstrated that the proposed HEC-based authentication approach provides data security more efficiently in cloud. The proposed approach amplifies the security issues and ensures the privacy and data security to the cloud user. Moreover, the proposed HEC-based authentication approach makes the system more robust and secured and has been verified with multiple scenarios. However, the proposed authentication approach requires less computational time and memory than the existing authentication techniques. The performance revealed by the proposed HEC-based authentication approach is measured in terms of computation time and memory as 26ms, and 1878bytes for 100Kb data size, respectively.
