Summary: The growing number of interconnected devices and services on the Internet of Things (IoT) necessitates secure processing and transmission of sensory data. Existing literature on authentication in IoT has not addressed the need for a scalable and efficient method. This paper proposes a secure and anonymous ticket-based authentication method that offers protection against security and privacy threats, as well as mutual authentication and sensor anonymity. Security and performance evaluations confirm its effectiveness.

Summary: Wireless body area networks (WBANs) commonly use Bluetooth as the communication technology, but the scalar multiplication of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) in Bluetooth is computationally expensive for WBAN devices. To address this, we propose a lightweight and secure numeric comparison protocol (LSNCP) that requires fewer scalar multiplications than Bluetooth's NCP. We verify the security of LSNCP using logic expressions and rules in GNY logic and conduct a provable security analysis. The results show that LSNCP is secure and has lower computation cost compared to NCP and other benchmark protocols. LSNCP has potential applications in healthcare, Metaverse, and blockchain.

Summary: This paper proposes a new authentication protocol called Authenblue to enhance the authentication process of IoT devices and Coordinators of Personal Area Network (CPANs) in an Industrial IoT (IIoT) environment. The Authenblue protocol improves the generation of IIoT identifiers and shared secret keys used by IIoT devices, making the authentication process more efficient and secure. Simulation results in Network Simulator 3 show improved performance compared to existing models.

Summary: Security is a crucial concern for IoT networks, and researchers worldwide have been investigating this issue. Existing security mechanisms are not suitable for IoT networks due to their complexity and resource consumption. A tag-embedding message authentication scheme has been proposed for IoT networks, but it still needs improvement in terms of immunity against nearby eavesdroppers. This article introduces a novel scheme that enhances authentication rate and tag confidentiality without any additional requirements.

Summary: The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) faces challenges in data privacy and security. This research paper proposes a privacy preservation model in IIoT using artificial intelligent techniques. The model involves two stages: data sanitization and restoration. The sanitization process hides sensitive information and generates optimal keys using a new algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model over other state-of-the-art models in terms of performance metrics.

Summary: With the rapid increase in the number of IoT devices, the need for secure authentication mechanisms that are resource-efficient and scalable has become crucial. Conventional authentication approaches are not suitable for IoT devices due to their expensive cryptographic primitives and lack of scalability. Blockchain technology has been proposed as a solution, but existing blockchain-based authentication methods suffer from high overhead and authentication time delays. This study presents a hybrid centralized and blockchain-based authentication architecture for IoT systems, combining the efficiency of edge servers with the decentralized trust of blockchains. Lightweight cryptographic methods are implemented to achieve efficient authentication while limiting resource consumption. The proposed architecture demonstrates significant improvements in computation cost, execution time, and power consumption compared to traditional authentication schemes.
