“…is the distance between vehicles that is set as the uniform distribution within (20, 100). To characterize the V2VC of CTs, we assume each CT is constructed in the corresponding ES as the Universal Serial Bus (USB) system, wherein the CTs are linked in series through hubs [31]. The communication rate between CTs can be approximately modeled as the data transfer through the downstream ports with the bitrate 12Mbps.…”

Internet of Vehicles (IoVs) presents promising opportunities for vehicle to everything (V2X) applications, wherein authentication acts as the cornerstone to realize trustworthy vehicular context and to support advanced applications. However, existing authentication schemes mainly depend on centralized servers with both security and privacy issues. In this paper, we propose a CyberTwin (CT) empowered blockchain framework for authentication, namely CyberChain, to reduce both the communication and storage cost while maintaining vehicular privacy. By designing a blockchain system in the cyberspace, we decouple the consensus process from the physical world, so that the operation cost of blockchain can be reduced. A Privacy-Preserving Parallel Pedersen Commitment (P4C) algorithm is designed to protect the privacy of vehicles and accelerate the authentication process. To further enhance the operation efficiency of CyberChain, we propose a Diffused Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (DPBFT) mechanism to reach consensus in the cyberspace that can reduce consensus latency. The proposed cyberchain framework and the associated mechanisms are evaluated by qualitative analysis and simulations. The evaluation results demonstrated that the proposed cyberchain based framework significantly improves the authentication performance in terms of authentication latency, privacy, communication overhead and storage cost.

With the increasing number and popularity of digital content, the management of digital access rights has become an utmost important field. Through digital rights management systems (DRM-S), access to digital contents can be defined and for this, an efficient and secure authentication scheme is required. The DRM authentication schemes can be used to give access or restrict access to digital content. Very recently in 2020, Yu et al. proposed a symmetric hash and xor-based DRM and termed their system to achieve both security and performance efficiency. Contrarily, in this study, we argue that their scheme has several issues including nonresistance to privileged insider and impersonation attacks. Moreover, it is also to show in this study that their scheme has an incorrect authentication phase and due to this incorrectness, the scheme of Yu et al. lacks user scalability. An improved scheme is then proposed to counter the insecurities and incorrectness of the scheme of Yu et al. We prove the security of the proposed scheme using BAN logic. For a clear picture of the security properties, we also provide a textual discussion on the robustness of the proposed scheme. Moreover, due to the usage of symmetric key-based hash functions, the proposed scheme has a comparable performance efficiency.

“…In 2020, Ali Khan et al [16] and Wei et al [17] proposed two separate methods to secure smart grid and USB mass storage communication, respectively. However, these schemes were proved insecure and impractical in [18,19]. Using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), Vaidya et al [9] presented their designed authentication scheme for SH.…”

Being one of the finest applications of the IoT, smart homes (SHs) with an aim to improve quality of life are taking over the traditional lifestyles. The entities within a SH communicate with each other and with the environment including the users to transform daily life seamlessly enjoyable and easy. However, owing to the public communication infrastructure, the advantages of SH are subject to security and privacy issues. Recently, Yu et al. presented a privacy and security solution for SH environment. The scheme of Yu et al. is based on lightweight symmetric key functions. Although the scheme of Yu et al. exhibits the lightweight property, it is proven in this paper that their scheme cannot provide mutual authentication due to a crucial design fault. An improved scheme using symmetric key functions for SH (SKIA-SH) is proposed in this paper. The security of the proposed scheme is furnished through formal BAN logic followed by brief discussion on security attribute provision of the proposed SKIA-SH. The comparisons show that the proposed SKIA-SH provides the required security on the cost of slight increase in computation and communication costs. The simulation results show that the SKIA-SH completes an authentication round by exchanging 216 bytes in just 5.34 ms.
