“…It is intended to alleviate the shortcomings of lightweight protocols utilizing asymmetric components, such RSA [30,31], pairing [3,32,33] or ECC [34][35][36][37][38][39]. However, those primitives are time-consuming; therefore, they might not be the best option for devices with limited resources.…”

Authentication protocol is a critical part of any application to manage the access control in many applications. A former research recently proposed a lightweight authentication scheme to transmit data in an IoT subsystem securely. Although the designers presented the first security analysis of the proposed protocol, that protocol has not been independently analyzed by third-party researchers, to the best of our knowledge. On the other hand, it is generally agreed that no cryptosystem should be used in a practical application unless its security has been verified through security analysis by third parties extensively, which is addressed in this paper. Although it is an efficient protocol by design compared to other related schemes, our security analysis identifies the non-ideal properties of this protocol. More specifically, we show that this protocol does not provide perfect forward secrecy. In addition, we show that it is vulnerable to an insider attacker, and an active insider adversary can successfully recover the shared keys between the protocol’s entities. In addition, such an adversary can impersonate the remote server to the user and vice versa. Next, the adversary can trace the target user using the extracted information. Finally, we redesign the protocol such that the enhanced protocol can withstand all the aforementioned attacks. The overhead of the proposed protocol compared to its predecessor is only 15.5% in terms of computational cost.

“…At the beginning of the mission, a blockchain client program is deployed for the registration server and the candidate UAVs participating in the mission to initialize the UAV network in a secure environment with the registration server as the center. e registration server constructs the UAV network mission-related security environment parameters based on the hyperelliptic curve public key cryptosystem [27] (HECC), receives UAV registration requests, generates public and private keys and identity IDs, and builds the identity vector. e vector commitment is calculated based on the identity vector, and the identity witness of the corresponding UAV is generated at the same time.…”

The UAV network composed of resource-constrained lightweight UAV swarms can efficiently accomplish mission with time critical requirements in dynamic and complex environments. However, the trusted authentication of network nodes poses a huge challenge due to its own resource constraints, the lack of trusted centralized support, frequent joining or departure of UAVs to or from the network, and the presence of cyber-attacks. In this paper, we propose a stateless blockchain based on triple aggregatable subvector commitment and present a dynamic proof of trust authorization consensus mechanism with a periodic random selection of authorized nodes to guarantee the trustworthiness of mutual authentication of UAV nodes. Our proposed triple vector authentication solution solves several of the challenges mentioned above very well. The extensive experiments demonstrate that our blockchain-based authentication scheme enjoins significant advantages over the four schemes currently available for UAV network authentication in terms of single authentication latency, speed of energy consumption, average computational cost, and end-to-end latency.

Near Field Communication (NFC) has emerged as a pivotal wireless technology for short-range data exchange between devices, including smartphones and wearables. Leveraging Radio Frequency (RF) signals and robust authentication, NFC ensures secure communication in proximity. Mutual authentication (MA) holds paramount importance for establishing trust between device pairs. A prime example of NFC technology is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), wherein seamless communication occurs between a reader and a tag. However, security and privacy concerns are critical factors in RFID systems, necessitating effective authentication protocols. This paper introduces an efficient and secure MA mechanism for RFID devices, using lightweight block ciphers (LBCs). Specifically, the extended tiny encryption algorithm (XTEA) and the hummingbird algorithm (HBA) using the cipher block chaining (CBC) mode is designed. These tailored algorithms establish a secure communication channel between RFID tags and readers. Notably, the proposed RFID-MA using XTEA and HBA occupies less than 2% of the chip area, encompassing slices and lookup tables (LUTs), and achieves authentication with execution times of 11.6 µs and 1.34µs, respectively. In comparison to the RFID-MA approach employing the XTEA methodology, the proposed algorithm reduces the chip area overhead by 24.6%, total power consumption by 3.5%, and execution time by 88.36%. The proposed algorithm is implemented using Verilog hardware description language (HDL) within the Xilinx environment and is realized on a Artix-7 field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform, utilizing the ModelSim simulator. The proposed research extensively presents simulation and synthesis results while considering the critical hardware constraints such as time, power, and area. Furthermore, this study has also conducted a comprehensive performance analysis, comparing essential metrics with existing LBC and authentication methodologies, showcasing substantial improvements.
