A lightweight security scheme to defend against quantum attack in IoT-based energy internet

Chahrazed Benrebbouh, Houssem Mansouri, Sarra Cherbal +1 more

The internet of things (IoT)-based energy internet (EI) is an emerging technology that enables innovative and distributed energy networks. However, as merging technologies often create complex structures, securing IoT-based EI against cyber-attacks becomes challenging. While existing solutions can protect this environment against well-known attacks, only a few works have addressed the issue of quantum attacks. To address this issue, this paper proposes a mechanism to defend against quantum computer attacks in IoT-based EI using the Goldreich-Goldwasser-Halev (GGH) cryptosystem and quantum key distribution. These techniques offer the best security features and contribute to secure authentication, eavesdropping detection, and resistance to the most well-known attacks. Our scheme's evaluation using the AVISPA tool demonstrates its lightweight nature with regard to the security properties it guarantees. Our contribution is crucial for ensuring secure IoT-based EI, as it protects against quantum computer attacks.

Lightweight Anonymous Key Sharing Authentication Protocol for Resource-Constrained IoT Devices

Gunawan Widjaja

The Internet of Things (IoT), as a new type of communication network, is involved in developing and applying secure transmission and storing a large amount of sensitive information. Due to the IoT devices' constrained resources, high connection costs, sluggish transmission speeds, and the inapplicability of security fundamentals like public key methods and digital signatures for simple device authentication, this paper presents a lightweight anonymous key-sharing authentication protocol for IoT devices. The protocol utilizes the tamper-resistant and anti-cloning properties of Hardware Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) to generate shared keys. In addition, it incorporates security primitives such as the MASK algorithm and Hash functions. The security analysis and verification using Ban logic and the proper tool ProVerif demonstrate that the protocol can defend against attacks such as man-in-the-middle, de-synchronization, impersonation, and modeling attacks. Compared with other protocols, this protocol exhibits the characteristics of low computational cost, minimal communication overhead and storage capacity, and high-security performance, making it suitable for secure communication and transmission in resource-constrained devices.

Utilizing post-quantum cryptography to secure Internet of Things (IoT) devices against quantum attacks

IoT devices use outdated secure methods that are vulnerable to quantum computer attacks, making quantum computing a huge security issue. As quantum computers get smarter, RSA and ECC may not be able to protect IoT networks as well. This research examines how publish-quantum cryptography (percent) may defend IoT devices from clean quantum assaults. Percent uses quantum algorithms like Shor’s and Grover’s to provide unbreakable safety. Records are protected and quantum technology is sent securely. The research evaluates many PQC algorithms for IoT systems. It uses computational energy, power savings, and scale troubleshooting. We propose integrating conventional and post-quantum encryption to make IoT networks more trustworthy and impenetrable. This study shows how important PQC is for protecting IoT settings against quantum-based attacks by securing key exchange, data, and device identification.
