Review on Security of Internet of Things Authentication Mechanism

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) is considered as a collection of heterogeneous devices, such as sensors, Radio-frequency identification (RFID) and actuators, which form a huge network, enabling non-internet components in the network to produce a better world of services, like smart home, smart city, smart transportation, and smart industries. On the other hand, security and privacy are the most important aspects of the IoT network, which includes authentication, authorization, data protection, network security, and access control. Additionally, traditional network security cannot be directly used in IoT networks due to its limitations on computational capabilities and storage capacities. Furthermore, authentication is the mainstay of the IoT network, as all components undergo an authentication process before establishing communication. Therefore, securing authentication is essential. In this paper, we have focused on IoT security particularly on their authentication mechanisms. Consequently, we highlighted enormous attacks and technical methods on the IoT authentication mechanism. Additionally, we discussed existing security verification techniques and evaluation schemes of IoT authentication. Furthermore, analysis against current existing protocols have been discussed in all parts and provided some recommendation. Finally, the aim of our study is to help the future researcher by providing security issues, open challenges and future scopes in IoT authentication.

Internet of Drones Security and Privacy Issues: Taxonomy and Open Challenges

“…On the one hand, the primary purpose of attacks on the internet of drones (IoD) network just like other typical attacks is to gain access and alter the attacked messages for fulfilling the needs of the attacker [77,[81][82][83]. On the other hand, attacks on the drone compared to the typical cyber-attacks usually occur due to the severe design loopholes and lack of wireless security protection mechanisms.…”

A Survey of Security Challenges, Attacks Taxonomy and Advanced Countermeasures in the Internet of Things

“…A systematic review study [29] investigated hardware and software-based security measures for IoT mobile computing devices. In [30], the authors highlighted several authentication methods for IoT and discussed various security verification mechanisms. They also provided future directions for research on authentication mechanisms.…”

Vehicle Location Prediction System Based on Historical Data

“…However, to produce the location of the vehicle, it consumes enormous of unusual energy. On the other hand, nowadays vehicles use a lot of security [2] features such as authentication protection [3], intrusion detection [4] and so on, which consumes extra energies from the vehicles limited sources. Moreover, network issues cannot be negligible like no connectivity, poor signal, and change of the coverage of the base stations.…”
