A Novel Smart Home Lightweight Authentication Protocol using IoT Applications
Authors: , ,
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) introduces innovative real-time applications that use sensors to collect data that exchange between things to things and things to humans through the network. In this aspect, security and privacy is the primary concern for researchers to protect these systems. This paper proposes a real-time authentication algorithm based on the one-time pad (OTP) principle. The keys are dynamically exchanged, and the data is encrypted via dynamic encryption, depending on random sensors’ data. The key is generated and exchanged dynamically using the dynamic encryption technique, thus enhancing the users’ data privacy and security. Moreover, a lightweight key generation, exchange, and authentication protocol are proposed for data collecting from smart home sensors. The proposed protocol guarantees security and privacy demand, which are the user’s primary concern. The proposed protocol is developed for smart home applications with interfacing requirements, which makes the system real and applicable. The operation principle of the proposed protocol is illustrated sufficiently if there is any desynchronization or emergency.
