“…In terms of business operation, the IoT applications and services have the requirement of data sharing on sensor data. A key management scheme for publishsubscribe system that is compliant with the data access control requirements of smart grid and IoT protocols is proposed in [11]. As we know, the key management schemes based on the preshared key framework and key pool framework are not scalable for large numbers of entities and dynamic changes in relationships [12].…”

Hierarchical key assignment scheme is an efficient cryptographic method for hierarchical access control, in which the encryption keys of lower classes can be derived by the higher classes. Such a property is an effective way to ensure the access control security of Internet of Things data markets. However, many researchers on this field cannot avoid potential single point of failure in key distribution, and some key assignment schemes are insecure against collusive attack or sibling attack or collaborative attack. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical key assignment scheme based on multilinear map to solve the multigroup access control in Internet of Things data markets. Compared with previous hierarchical key assignment schemes, our scheme can avoid potential single point of failure in key distribution. Also the central authority of our scheme (corresponding to the data owner in IoT data markets) does not need to assign the corresponding encryption keys to each user directly, and users in each class can obtain the encryption key via only a one-round key agreement protocol. We then show that our scheme satisfies the security of key indistinguishability under decisional multilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption. Finally, comparisons show the efficiency of our scheme and indicates that our proposed scheme can not only resist the potential attacks, but also guarantee the forward and backward security.

“…However, the paper did not present a broker bridging mechanism, and the scheme was not implemented in an MQTT architecture with multiple brokers. In addition, one of the disadvantages of the scheme is that key management and key revocation issues were not addressed [16]. Thus, implementing the scheme in a large-scale MQTT network with brokers' communication is a complicated process.…”

With the rapid growth of internet-connected devices and their resource-constrained capabilities, the current authentication mechanisms are unable to meet the complex IoT application requirements, such as in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), due to the increased computation, communication, and storage overhead arising from these mechanisms. In the IIoT, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is an underlying technology where devices (e.g., sensors, actuators, and controllers) can be enabled to exchange information autonomously; thus, the massive data generated by these devices can increase latency, network congestion, and the complexity of security management. Message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) is one of the promising M2M protocols used in the IoT that could encounter such issues because it relies on a central broker in the cloud and implements a heavyweight authentication mechanism based on TLS. Therefore, this paper proposes an MQTT architecture with multi-tier brokers based on fog computing, where each broker is deployed with an authentication manager. In addition, the paper presents a lightweight mutual authentication scheme based on hash function and XOR operation. Comparing the results given in the benchmark, the overall performance of our scheme shows that storage and communication overheads are reduced to 89% and 23%, respectively. Furthermore, our system can resist against several cyberattacks and provide scalability.
