“…Since authentication is the cornerstone of providing effective security, a number of authentication schemes have been proposed to ensure security in IoT or M2M applications [12]- [16]; however, they cannot be readily applied for IIoT because manufacturing machines are naturally limited with computation power and/or communication bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a lightweight authentication scheme to authenticate these resource constrained machineries in order to ensure secure integration of IIoT solutions in the future production systems.…”

Abstract-In the emerging Industrial IoT era, Machine-toMachine (M2M) communication technology is considered as a key underlying technology for building Industrial IoT environments where devices (e.g., sensors, actuators, gateways) are enabled to exchange information with each other in an autonomous way without human intervention. However, most of the existing M2M protocols that can be also used in the Industrial IoT domain provide security mechanisms based on asymmetric cryptography resulting in high computational cost. As a consequence, the resource-constrained IoT devices are not able to support them appropriately and thus, many security issues arise for the Industrial IoT environment. Therefore, lightweight security mechanisms are required for M2M communications in Industrial IoT in order to reach its full potential. As a step towards this direction, in this paper, we propose a lightweight authentication mechanism, based only on hash and XOR operations, for M2M communications in Industrial IoT environment. The proposed mechanism is characterized by low computational cost, communication and storage overhead, while achieving mutual authentication, session key agreement, device's identity confidentiality, and resistance against the following attacks: replay attack, man-in-the-middle attack, impersonation attack, and modification attack.

“…Although current mobile devices may support the security schemes, many IoT devices have limited power and computational resources. Therefore, a light weight encryption algorithm [94] and key management protocol are needed for IoT devices. Additionally, there are some DDoS-preventing algorithms [95], which use null routing or unauthorized packet filtering.…”

Abstract:The introduction of mobile devices has changed our daily lives. They enable users to obtain information even in a nomadic environment and provide information without limitations. A decade after the introduction of this technology, we are now facing the next innovation that will change our daily lives. With the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT), our communication ability will not be restricted to only mobile devices. Rather, it will expand to all things with which we coexist. Many studies have discussed IoT-related services and platforms. However, there are only limited discussions about the IoT network. In this paper, we will thoroughly analyze the technical details about the IoT network. Based on our survey of papers, we will provide insight about the future IoT network and the crucial components that will enable it.

“…Examples of uses of lightweight cryptography in IoT are authentications schemes [26][27] or device management [28][29]. Lightweight cryptography contains different sorts of algorithms that can be used, all of them are under studies, one can give as examples: Symmetric ciphers for lightweight crypto, asymmetric ciphers and homomorphism.…”
