Internet of Things (IoT) is an intelligent technology and service that mutually communicates information between human and devices or between Internetbased devices. In IoT security, the authentication should be distributed and lightweight. Token generation should be based on the trust worthiness of the devices, and it needs to ensure fast authentication and authorization. In this paper, we propose an Energy Efficient Distributed Lightweight Authentication and Encryption (EEDLAE) technique for IoT security. In our proposed technique, the receiver generates the token for each sender. The token expiration time is determined based on the trust value of each sender, and sleep period of the receiver radio is determined based on its remaining energy. For encryption, Counter with Cipher Block Chaining-Message Authentication Code (CCM) is applied. Experimental results show that EEDLAE technique can hold out against affected packets, higher resilience against node capture, increased throughput, and residual energy, compared with the existing technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
