Title Improvement in Device Authentication Scheme for IoT Networks
Abstract This is the era of Internet and the world is moving towards Internet of Things(IoT). Basically,IoT is a network in which all physical objects are connected to the internet through network devices or routers and exchange data. Due to easy physical access of the devices, common attacks, including cloning of devices or stealing secret keys stored in an edge node, are some of the most common attacks on the IoT deployments.In such situation a robust Authentication scheme plays very important role for making the devices safe in the IoT network.Protean authentication scheme is an efficient key generation mechanism, where the authentication credentials are generated on the key and exchanged securely between the gateway and edge nodes with minimal computational overheads on resource constrained IoT devices.Still there is a need to improve it in order to authenticate the inter-cluster and intra-cluster nodes with the potential use of distributed hyper-ledger techniques.
