Abstract

For secure communication between any two neighboring sensing devices on the Internet of Things (IoT) environment, it is essential to design a secure device access control and key agreement protocol, in which the two phases, namely, ``node authentication'' and ``key agreement'' are involved. While the node authentication allows two sensing devices to authenticate each other using their own pre-loaded secret credentials in memory, the key agreement phase permits to establish a secret key between them if the mutual authentication is successful. In this paper, we propose a new certi�cate-based ``lightweight access control and key agreement protocol in the IoT environment, called LACKA-IoT,'' that utilizes the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) along with the ``collision-resistant one-way cryptographic hash function.'' Through a detailed security analysis using the formal security under the ``Real-Or-Random (ROR) model,'' informal (non-mathematical) security analysis, and formal security veri�cation using the broadly used ``Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA)'' tool, we show that the LACKA-IoT can protect various known attacks that are needed for a secure device access control mechanism in the IoT. Furthermore, through a comparative study of the LACKA-IoT and other relevant schemes, we showthat there is a better tradeoff among the security and functionality features and communication and computational costs of the LACKA-IoT as compared to other schemes. Finally, the ``practical demonstration using the NS2 simulation'' has been carried out on the LACKA-IoT to measure various network parameters
