“…While these devices may have limited functionality, they may still collect and transmit personal sensitive information across the internet to web or cloud services. This presents challenges as data being exchanged over the internet is potentially exposed to attack and must be secured [3]. To standardize constrained device communication organizations such as the IETF have developed efficient web standards for constrained devices such as CoAP [4].…”

“…DTLS protects data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of CoAP communications in a comparable way that TLS protects HTTP communication on the web i.e. HTTPS [3] [4]. While suitable for some IoT devices, DTLS is still a heavyweight protocol and so devices must have sufficient resource to run it while still being able to perform the devices intended function e.g.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) introduces an inventive and perceptive of a future Internet where users, computing systems, and everyday items owning sensing and actuating abilities cooperate with unique comfort and financial advantages. Many heterogeneous devices get connected and contribute to the IoT and are known as things. Internet of Things (IoT) enables these things to correspond, compute and make decisions on the network. In such a heterogeneous environment, every user of IoT will have a unique purpose to be served in the form of communication and computation. There is a threat that a malicious user can demolish the security and privacy of the network. Hence any application in the environment of IoT is prone to various attacks and threats. At this point, security becomes a high priority in IoT. To ensure security, care must be taken to guarantee confidentiality, authenticity, data integrity and non-repudiation. In this paper address various conventional techniques for providing security of IoT devices and present analysis of existing solutions for IoT. Firstly, as security will be a fundamental allowing thing of most IoT applications, mechanisms must also be designed to defend communications enabled by such technologies. Later, we identify some suitable security algorithms.

“…Security and privacy of IoT are hence of prime importance. The author in [1] resumes the challenges faced by the IoTs as follow: -Passive or non-existent human intervention might lead to physical and logical attacks. • Confidentiality: Data should only be accessible to the sender or receiver whether it is at rest or in transit.…”

“…The need for security is because there is no uniform infrastructure from one device to another and that these devices communicate wirelessly; all this adding up makes them prone to security attacks such as eavesdrop, Man-In-The-Middle and so; since most of the IoT objects have constraints resources in terms of power, memory and processing capability, it follows that lightweight algorithms are necessary to obtain an efficient end-to-end communication because they use minimal power consumption and less memory than the traditional algorithms such as RSA. [1] Authentication, Integrity, and confidentiality are the pillars of Network Security. In order to be properly secured, each device in the IoT network should authenticate itself to the rest of the devices each time that communication is initiated.…”

Elliptic Curves when compared to other encryptions scheme such as RSA etc., provides an equivalent security, smaller key sizes, less power consumption, faster calculations, less bandwidth used and is more suitable for Internet of Things devices. In addition of encrypting the data, the devices in the network should also be able to authenticate themselves, which can be achieved with the implementation of "Non-Interactive Zero Knowledge protocol" (NIZKP). This protocol involves two parties: The prover and the Verifier. Prover party should prove to the Verifier that they have the knowledge of something, without revealing what is it. In this paper, a study of Schnorr protocol or ∑protocol over Elliptic Curves is done and the protocol is implemented in Python using the Python Cryptography Toolkit PyCrypto which is a collection of cryptographic modules implementing various algorithms and protocols. Finally, the results were compared with Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellmann(ECDH) and present a performance evaluation of the protocols on the Raspberry Pi 3B model, a credit-card sized computer used for the development of IoT devices hence the perfect platforms to test the protocol.

“…are considered as smart things. "IoT can be defined as a network of uniquely identifiable, accessible, and manageable smart things that are capable of performing communication, computation and ultimate decision making" [1]. "It is aunified part of Future Internet and could be defined as a dynamic global network infrastructure with self-configuring capabilities based on standard and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual "things" have identities, physical attributed, use intelligent interfaces, and are seamlessly integrated into the information network" [2].…”

Internet of Things (IoT) plays a vital role in the field of Information Technology, Industries and Healthcare etc. As data in IoT applications will be related to the physical realm, ensuring data security is a primary constraint for many cases. Because in the IoT context not only users, but also authorized objects may access data.Security represents a critical component for enabling the widespread adoption of IoT technologies and applications. Therefore this paper proposes a multilevel encryption technique to enhance the security of the IoT data. In this approach the data sensed from the IoT devices are encrypted in the gateway using Merkle-Hellman encryption and Elliptic Curve Cryptography(ECC) to ensure the security of the data.
