FHAAPS: Efficient Anonymous Authentication with Privacy Preservation Scheme for Farm-to-Home Communication

Abstract

With the advancement in information and communication technology (ICT), secure farm-to-home communication has become an emerging concept. Food is the most basic essential commodity for the survival of human beings which is produced by farmers. However, because of the presence of intermediaries, farmers/producers do not make a sufficient profit and also the consumers have to pay more money to buy food items from these mediators. As a result, in this work, we proposed an efficient farm-to-home anonymous authentication privacy-preserving scheme in which the storehouse will buy goods from farmers and sell them to the consumers at the base rate. Moreover, in our scheme, an unprofitable trusted delivery agent assists in the transfer of food commodities between end users and storehouses to provide maximum profit for the farmers and consumers. Further, essential security parameters are provided to the end users and it provides conditional privacy to the delivery agent; i.e., if any mishap occurs, then the malicious delivery agent’s privacy is revoked to avoid further damage to the system. The performance analysis section shows that our scheme supports the transfer of food commodities with minimum computational and communication costs.
