The traditional centralized intelligent home network security authentication schemes have security problems such as integrity and confidentiality, while the distributed schemes have the problem of delayed authentication. These schemes are not suitable for the intelligent home environment of edge computing. To solve these problems, a certificateless smart home network authentication scheme based on blockchain and certificateless cryptosystem is proposed to realize mutual authentication among users, intelligent terminals (ITs), and intelligent gateways (IGs). The aggregation signature scheme of certificateless identity is introduced into the authentication of intelligent terminals in smart home network. The IG only needs to generate a signature to complete the identity authentication of multiple ITs. Compared with other authentication schemes, the security verification and performance analysis show that the proposed scheme uses less computation overhead and achieves more security features.
