“…Typical IoT installations allow remote users to access data from sensor nodes in WSNs through the Internet. Researchers have been developing effective approaches for merging WSNs into IoT environments [2,[11][12][13][14][15][16]. Because of the resource constraints of sensor nodes, to design an efficient and secure authentication scheme for WSNs in IoT environments constitutes a nontrivial challenge.…”

In the Internet of Things (IoT), numerous devices can interact with each other over the Internet. A wide range of IoT applications have already been deployed, such as transportation systems, healthcare systems, smart buildings, smart factories, and smart cities. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play crucial roles in these IoT applications. Researchers have published effective (but not entirely secure) approaches for merging WSNs into IoT environments. In IoT environments, the security effectiveness of remote user authentication is crucial for information transmission. Computational efficiency and energy consumption are crucial because the energy available to any WSN is limited. This paper proposes a notably efficient and secure authentication scheme based on temporal credential and dynamic ID for WSNs in IoT environments. The Burrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN) logic method was used to validate our scheme. Cryptanalysis revealed that our scheme can overcome the security weaknesses of previously published schemes. The security functionalities and performance efficiency of our scheme are compared with those of previous related schemes. The result demonstrates that our scheme's security functionalities are quantitatively and qualitatively superior to those of comparable schemes. Our scheme can improve the effectiveness of authentication in IoT environments. Notably, our scheme has superior performance efficiency, low computational cost, frugal energy consumption, and low communication cost.

“…In this section, we present how the proposed scheme is more efficient than the existing schemes in terms of computation, communication, and storage cost, based on a performance analysis, an efficiency study, and a performance study. Note that to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, we selected nine recently published authentication schemes (i.e., [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]) that have focused on lightweight performance.…”

Optimization of resource consumption and decreasing the response time of authentication requests is an immense urgent requirement for supporting the scalability of resources in IoT environments. The existing research attempts to design lightweight authentication protocols to address these issues. However, the schemes proposed in the literature are lacking in the creation of a lightweight (i.e., low computing, communication, and storage cost) and secure architecture. IoT devices in existing approaches consume high electricity and computing power, despite the fact that IoT devices have limited power and computing capabilities. Furthermore, the existing approaches lead to an increase in the burden on storage memory and also create heavy traffic on a communication channel, increasing the response time of device authentication requests. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel lightweight and secure architecture that uses crypto-modules, which optimize the usage of one-way hash functions, elliptic-curve cryptography, and an exclusive-or operation. We demonstrate the proposed scheme’s security strength using informal security analysis and verified it by considering the widely used automated validation of internet security protocol application (AVISPA) and the ProVerif tool. The result shows that the proposed scheme is effective against active and passive security attacks and satisfies secure design. Moreover, we calculate the proposed scheme’s working cost by implementing it using a widely accepted standard pairing-based cryptography (PBC) library on embedded devices. The implementation proves that the proposed scheme is lightweight and reduces computation time by 0.933 ms, communication cost by 1408 bits, and storage cost by 384 bits, and removes the existing gaps.

The Internet of Things is a major development in information technology that increasingly dominates and reigns in the computer systems market. However, due to the threat of cyber attacks, the security of IoT is still one of the major issues holding back the evolution of this technology. For this, the authentication of objects is very important in IoT. In this paper, we propose a lightweight authentication protocol for the IoT Based Wireless Sensor Networks, called AuthenIoT. The objective is to provide mutual authentication services for connected objects. This protocol must take into account the constraints of the objects and the used communication technologies. To achieve such protocol, we opted for WSNs as an IoT use case. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides an efficient security for connected devices and that its computation and communication costs are suitable for extremely low-cost IoT devices.
