Construction of Lightweight Authenticated Joint Arithmetic Computation for 5G IoT Networks

Ching-Fang Hsu, Lein Harn, Zhe Xia +2 more

Abstract The next generation of Internet of Things (IoT) networks and mobile communications (5G IoT networks) has the particularity of being heterogeneous, therefore, it has very strong ability to compute, store, etc. Group-oriented applications demonstrate its potential ability in 5G IoT networks. One of the main challenges for secure group-oriented applications (SGA) in 5G IoT networks is how to secure communication and computation among these heterogeneous devices. Conventional protocols are not suitable for SGA in 5G IoT networks since multiparty joint computation in this environment requires lightweight communication and computation overhead. Furthermore, the primary task of SGA is to securely transmit various types of jointly computing data. Hence, membership authentication and secure multiparty joint arithmetic computation become two fundamental security services in SGA for 5G IoT networks. The membership authentication allows communication entities to authenticate their communication partners and the multiparty joint computations allow a secret output to be shared among all communication entities. The multiparty joint computation result can be used to protect exchange information in the communication or be used as a result that all users jointly compute by using their secret inputs. A novel construction of computation/communications-efficient membership authenticated joint arithmetic computation is proposed in this paper for 5G IoT networks, which not only integrates the function of membership authentication and joint arithmetic computation but also realizes both computation and communication efficiency on each group member side. Our protocol is secure against inside attackers and outside attackers, and also meets all the described security goals. Meanwhile, in this construction the privacy of tokens can be well protected so tokens can be reused multiple times. This proposal is noninteractive and can be easily extended to joint arithmetic computation with any number of inputs. Hence, our design has more attraction for lightweight membership authenticated joint arithmetic computation in 5G IoT networks.

Quantum IoT: A Quantum Approach in IoT Security Maintenance

Md Samin Rahman, Md Hossam-E-Haider

Securing Internet of things is a major concern as it deals with data that are personal, needed to be reliable, can direct and manipulate device decisions in a harmful way. Also regarding data generation process is heterogeneous, data being immense in volume, complex management. Quantum Computing and Internet of Things (IoT) coined as Quantum IoT defines a concept of greater security design which harness the virtue of quantum mechanics laws in Internet of Things (IoT) security management. Also it ensures secured data storage, processing, communication, data dynamics. In this paper, an IoT security infrastructure is introduced which is a hybrid one, with an extra layer, which ensures quantum state. This state prevents any sort of harmful actions from the eavesdroppers in the communication channel and cyber side, by maintaining its state, protecting the key by quantum cryptography BB84 protocol. An adapted version is introduced specific to this IoT scenario. A classical cryptography system ‘One-Time pad (OTP)’ is used in the hybrid management. The novelty of this paper lies with the integration of classical and quantum communication for Internet of Things (IoT) security.

A Secure and Improved Authentication Scheme for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks in the Internet of Things Environment

Hamidreza Yazdanpanah, Mahdi Azizi, Seyed Morteza Pournaghi

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) is turning common conceptions of the current Internet into a dream of smart objects that communicate with each other. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play an important role in such an environment, since they include a wide range of applications. Researchers are already working on how WSN can be effectively integrated into the IoT environment. One part of the integration is the security aspect. In recent years, Farash et al. proposed an efficient user authentication and key agreement scheme for Heterogeneous WSN (HWSN) tailored for the IoT environment. Although their scheme is efficient, we found that this scheme is vulnerable to several cryptographic attacks. This paper first demonstrates all security weaknesses of the Farash et al.'s scheme and then proposes a secure and improved mutual authentication and key agreement scheme.
