Cryptography based Identity Management for IoT Devices
Jishnu Narayanan Nair, Kurunandan Jain · 2023
While the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices offer numerous benefits for enterprises, they have also increased the need for strong security measures. Due to the quantity of sensitive data it sends and retains, this interconnected ecosystem is vulnerable to attacks and breaches. To ease these fears, researchers have developed a novel mutual authentication method that uses dynamic keys for encryption and decryption. The IoT environment is protected from regular attacks thanks to the complete security architecture offered by this authentication technique. The impact of a key compromise is reduced by employing dynamic keys rather than static ones. Organizations adopting IoT and wearable technologies can benefit from implementing this authentication technique in a number of ways. Currently, the suggested systems use complicated and resource-intensive cryptographic techniques, increasing computation time and making it impossible to establish communications. By creating a secure communication path and limiting access to and exchange of data between authorized devices, it lowers the possibility of data interception or manipulation. By using dynamic keys that are produced specifically for each session to encrypt and decode data, the system increases security by making the data more resistant to cryptographic assaults. This dynamic key management method lessens the effects of a compromised key and raises the IoT ecosystem’s general security.
