Light-weight Security Protocol in IoT with Less Computational Cost

Abstract

Firewalls are the emerging technology to secure the internal network resources from outsider attacks. On the other hand, Authentication, integrity, and confidentiality are the main security challenges for firewalls. To achieve these security challenges, recently, two multicast signcryption schemes have been contributed to the literature. These two Signcryption suffer from two main flaws: computational cost and our head communication. Keeping in view these two flaws, we designed a new multi-receiver signcryption scheme that is lightweight. A lightweight and well-secured protocol is presented for smart-IOT-based homes that are proven to be secured against impersonation, replay, and exposed session key attacks. The Proposed technique is experimented with using the AVISPA tool to ensure that the various attacks do not crack it. The efficiency and security of the proposed scheme are based on a hyperelliptic curve cryptosystem. The hyperelliptic curve cryptography is the subtype of an elliptic curve cryptosystem, and the key size is low from the elliptic curve. Our scheme provides all the security requirements provided by the existing multi-receiver signcryption schemes with low computational and communication costs.
