“…The major advantage of homomorphic encryption is allowing complex mathematical operations to be performed on encrypted data without knowing the contents of the original plain data [25]. As calculations are performed on encrypted texts, the data privacy and confidentiality are protected [26]. Therefore, we can ensure that the content exchanged between Medical Sensors and Medical Server is protected against any modification by malicious or unauthorized users.…”

“…Moreover, to allow the Medical Server determining the evil data, we use a homomorphic Message Authentication Code (MAC) scheme, to provide data integrity. MAC ensures that received message is from the authenticated source and it is not tempered by any third-party during transmission [26].

Nowadays, IoT technology is used in various application domains, including the healthcare, where sensors and IoT enabled medical devices exchange data without human interaction to securely transmit collected sensitive healthcare data towards healthcare professionals to be reviewed and take proper actions if needed. The IoT devices are usually resource-constrained in terms of energy consumption, storage capacity, computational capability, and communication range. In healthcare applications, many miniaturized devices are exploited for healthcare data collection and transmission. Thus, there is a need for secure data aggregation while preserving the data integrity and privacy of the patient. For that, the security, privacy, and aggregation of health data are very important aspects to be considered. This paper proposes a novel secure data aggregation scheme called “An Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation Scheme with authentication for IoT-Based Healthcare applications” (EPPDA). EPPDA is based to verification and authorization phase to verify the legitimacy of the nodes that need to join the process of aggregation. EPPDA, also, uses additive homomorphic encryption to protect data privacy and combines it with homomorphic MAC to check the data integrity. The major advantage of homomorphic encryption is allowing complex mathematical operations to be performed on encrypted data without knowing the contents of the original plain data. The proposed system is developed using MySignals HW V2 platform. Security analysis and experimental results show that our proposed scheme guarantees data privacy, messages authenticity, and integrity, with lightweight communication overhead and computation.

The radio frequency identification (RFID) system is one of the most important technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) that tracks single or multiple objects. This technology is extensively used and attracts the attention of many researchers in various fields, including healthcare, supply chains, logistics, asset tracking, and so on. To reach the required security and confidentiality requirements for data transfer, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a powerful solution, which ensures a tag/reader mutual authentication and guarantees data integrity. In this paper, we first review the most relevant ECC-based RFID authentication protocols, focusing on their security analysis and operational performances. We compare the various lightweight ECC primitive implementations designed for RFID applications in terms of occupied area and power consumption. Then, we highlight the security threats that can be encountered considering both network attacks and side-channel attacks and analyze the security effectiveness of RFID authentication protocols against such types of attacks. For this purpose, we classify the different threats that can target an ECC-based RFID system. After that, we present the most promising ECC-based protocols released during 2014–2021 by underlining their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, we perform a comparative study between the different protocols mentioned regarding network and side-channel attacks, as well as their implementation costs to find the optimal one to use in future works.

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) protocols due to higher security strength per bit have been widely accepted and deployed. Finite field multiplication is the most computational intensive operation in data security protocols developed using ECC. This paper presents two high-speed parallel re-configurable finite field multipliers: PIMD-2 and PIMD-3 over prime field (F p ) for ECC applications. The proposed designs are based on the new novel optimized interleaved multiplication algorithms. This work first identifies room of parallelism by investigating independent operations in the standard interleaved multiplication method and subsequently proposes high-speed hardware architectures that allow the parallel execution of these operations. Due to the introduced modifications, the critical path delays and clock cycle consumption in the PIMD-2 and PIMD-3 designs are reduced simultaneously. The proposed F p multipliers are synthesized using Xilinx ISE Design Suite and implemented on Virtex-5 and Virtex-6 field programmable gate array (FPGA) platforms for common ECC key sizes 160-521 bits. The implementation results reveal that the proposed designs are highly efficient, provided up to 3Â improvement in latency with lower area-delay product and higher throughput per FPGA slice as compared to the state-of-the-art. K E Y W O R D Selliptic curve cryptography, field programmable gate array, finite field multiplication, hardware accelerators, public key cryptography | INTRODUCTIONToday data security mechanism is essential in Internet of Things (IoTs) and must be developed considering computational power and resource availability of underlying systems. RSA 1 and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) 2,3 are two popular public key (PK) schemes widely used for providing many interesting security protocols. [4][5][6] Different standardization bodies recommend ECC over RSA for deployment in the future. Different recommendations show that ECC key sizes are 10-30 times smaller than the traditional RSA scheme. 7 This key size gap is further expected to increase as the security challenges arise due to rapid advancement in the cryptanalysis techniques.RSA is an exponential scheme, and its implementation involves repeated finite field multiplication operation. On the other hand, ECC is structured on finite field addition, subtraction, multiplication, and inversion/division primitives. However, due to computational complexity of finite field inversion/division operations, different coordinate systems have been developed to avoid these operations at the cost of extra finite field multiplications. 5,8-10 Thus, a finite field
