Wireless body area network can be employed to collect patient’s electronic health data. To guarantee the reliability and confidentiality of the collected data, secure data transmission in wireless body area network is required. In wireless body area network, a mutual authentication process has to be carried out between the controller and sensors to ensure their legitimacy, and a key distribution mechanism is required to secure communication after successful mutual authentication. Li et al. proposed a cryptographic solution, which allows group device pairing authentication and key agreement but has low authentication efficiency and key leakage problems. To address these issues, a group authentication and key distribution scheme is proposed in this article. It enables effectively mutual authentication between controller and sensors, supports all signatures of sensors in the group to be checked by the controller through aggregation verification to achieve efficient authentication, and allows key distribution during authentication to improve the computation efficiency. Security analysis indicates that the proposed scheme enjoys existentially unforgeability, and theoretical and experimental comparison demonstrates its practicality in terms of computation and communication cost.

“…Unfortunately, none of the solutions work effectively by providing a valid solution to the signature generation and verification.In digital signature, the private key of a particular signer is used to sign the content/message, while the public key is used for the authenticity of the signer [25]. However, it is a costly operation for every router, to verify the authenticity of each content with a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) setting [26]. Therefore, IoT-based NDN network demands a lightweight signature scheme that can be used to solve the certificates management issues with minimal computation and communication costs.…”

Named Data Networking (NDN) is one of the future envisioned networking paradigm used to provide fast and efficient content dissemination with interest-based content retrieval, name-based routing and in-network content caching. On the one hand, this new breed of future Internet architecture is becoming a key technology for data dissemination in the IoT networks; on the other hand, NDN suffers from new challenges in terms of data security. Among them, a content poisoning attack is the most common data security challenge. The aim of this attack is to inject poisoned content with an invalid signature to the network. Therefore, to prevent NDN against possible content poisoning attack, a signature of the contents is appended to each data packet for verifications. In this paper, we propose an identity-based signature scheme for IoT-based NDN networks, with a special emphasis on content integrity and authenticity. The proposed scheme is based on the concept of the Hyperelliptic curves, which provide the same level of security as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), Bilinear pairing and Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC) with lower-key size. The proposed scheme is subject to both formal and informal security analysis in order to show the feasibility of our scheme. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed via comparison with the relevant existing schemes that authenticates the superiority of our scheme in terms of security and efficiency.

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), it becomes challenging to ensure its security. Identity authentication and integrity verification can be achieved by secure hash functions and digital signature algorithms for IoT applications. In order to solve the issues of bandwidth limitation and computational efficiency of secure communication in IoT applications, an aggregate signature scheme based on multi- trapdoor hash function is proposed in this paper. Firstly, to prevent key exposition, based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP), we constructed a double trapdoor hash function (DTH) and proved its reliability. Secondly, the multi-trapdoor hash function (MTH) based on DTH is presented. Finally, an MTH-based aggregate signature scheme (MTH-AS) with constant signature length is proposed. Based on the assumption of ECDLP, the proposed scheme is proven unforgeable against adaptive chosen message attacks with the Forking Lemma. Different from the most signature schemes with bilinear mapping, the proposed scheme has higher computational efficiency and shorter aggregate signature length. Moreover, it is independent of the number of signers. Security analysis and performance evaluation has revealed that the proposed scheme is an ideal solution for secure IoT applications with limited computing power, storage capacity, or limited bandwidth, such as wireless sensor networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, or healthcare sensor networks.
