ICMetric-Based Secure Communication
Shahzaib Tahir, Imran Rashid · Advances in information security, privacy, and ethics book series · 2016
Secure communication refers to successful and secure interaction among the participants having common intentions in peer-to-peer or group settings. Group setting is a dynamic environment composed of activities exhibited by individuals in a group where number of participants are variable. Therefore the level of security in this environment needs to be given utmost importance. This challenging environment requires maintaining secrecy of cryptographic keys which is often overlooked. ICMetric is an emerging technology that has gained importance because of its security advantages for embedded system applications. This technology resolves issues of key theft and storage, through the development of device fingerprint that can be used for secure key generation. This research discusses ICMetric in detail by elaborating its salient features. Authors enumerate the current research being carried out on ICMetric technology along with its areas of application. This research elucidates the changes that ICMetric technology has brought to conventional cryptosystem design.
