Applicability of RINA in IoT communication for acceptable latency and resiliency against device authentication attacks
Bhushana Samyuel Neelam, Benjamin A. Shimray · 2021
IoT is revolutionizing the consumer world these days. IoT being an element of ubiquitous networking gathered much interest among industry and academia. Its limitless capability of integrating the cyber world with the physical world made it one of the dominant technologies of the day. But heterogeneous nature of IoT along with its authentication and identity management in large-scale environments present a potential threat to its security. Many new technologies like SDN and Blockchain improved their security but with some limitations. In this context, we present an IoT model based on a secure network architecture called recursive internetworking architecture (RINA) which is fully programmable. The proposed work discusses porting of an IoT-enabled CPS model on to RINA network, verifies the acceptability of latency in remote control and data acquisition according to the IEEE standards, and presented a secure authentication that can be achieved by the RINA password authentication mechanism. Results demonstrate the acceptability of latency as per IEEE standards and resiliency against device authentication threats.
