The overwhelming acceptance and growing need for Internet of Things (IoT) products in each aspect of everyday living is creating a promising prospect for the involvement of humans, data, and procedures. The vast areas create opportunities from home to industry to make an automated lifecycle. Human life is involved in enormous applications such as intelligent transportation, intelligent healthcare, smart grid, smart city, etc. A thriving surface is created that can affect society, the economy, the environment, politics, and health through diverse security threats. Generally, IoT devices are susceptible to security breaches, and the development of industrial systems could pose devastating security vulnerabilities. To build a reliable security shield, the challenges encountered must be embraced. Therefore, this survey paper is primarily aimed to assist researchers by classifying attacks/vulnerabilities based on objects. The method of attacks and relevant countermeasures are provided for each kind of attack in this work. Case studies of the most important applications of the IoT are highlighted concerning security solutions. The survey of security solutions is not limited to traditional secret key-based cryptographic solutions, moreover physical unclonable functions (PUF)-based solutions and blockchain are illustrated. The pros and cons of each security solution are also discussed here. Furthermore, challenges and recommendations are presented in this work.

“…In recent years, several protocols have been introduced for authentication and key agreement. [9][10][11][12][13] Most of these [6][7][8]14 protocols require great computational cost that is inappropriate for such resource-strapped entities. Moreover, the physical security aspect of the sensors is not entertained by any of the above-discussed literature.…”

Summary Information and communication technology (ICT) can add appealing attributes such as transparency, energy conservation, cost reduction, reliability, and efficiency to the traditional power grid. The addition of these attributes is possible due to the concept of a smart grid (SG). However, ICT applications engender new access control challenges. Therefore, many studies have been conducted in recent years to investigate that the most significant challenge of the smart grid is privacy. In the light of these studies, two significant problems have been identified for SG access control protocols that must be addressed. First, we have all essential security requirements such as integrity, confidentiality, and authentication. Moreover, the cryptographic algorithms impose significant computational and communication costs on the system, however, in most of the contemporary infrastructure's devices usually have limited‐resource. Therefore, second, the lightweight design of access control protocols is also a significant challenge. To address these challenges, we introduce a provably secure and lightweight access control protocol for SGs that eliminates key exchange issues while increasing privacy and security. We evaluate the proposed protocol to determine its security strength against well‐known security attacks. Finally, we present a performance evaluation of the proposed protocol to demonstrate its efficiency in terms of computation and communication costs.

“…Te former ignores the actual architecture and the authority fltering function of gateway, while the latter exaggerates the security assumption of gateway. And only several schemes [6,13,14,17,20,[24][25][26] take physical attack into consideration. A comparison of recent schemes is shown in Table 1.…”

Smart grid is gradually replacing traditional grid with two-way communication and improved management. Besides the efficiency and reliability it brings, the smart grid is inevitably fraught with rampant physical and cyber-attack. Although several physical unclonable function (PUF)-based schemes have been proposed, they are unsuited to the end-edge-cloud hierarchical smart grid. This paper proposes a PUF-based batch authentication and key agreement protocol, which protects both meters and gateways and provides end-to-end authentication between meters and the server. By offloading heavy operations from field devices to the server, the computation overhead is reduced substantially. Moreover, we innovatively devolve batch authentication and access control to the gateway, which additionally decreases downlink communication and signaling cost, and is superior to most recent schemes. Our protocol is proved by Tamarin under extended Dolev–Yao adversary and the Real-or-Random model and is evaluated to be secure against various attacks. Using extremely lightweight operations, our protocol is implemented on the MSP430FR5969 microcontroller.
