Novel Secure Validation Scheme to Assess Device Legitimacy in Internet of Things

Abstract

The increasing security concerns in Internet-of-Things (IoT) have led the researchers to evolve up with multiple levels of the research-based solution towards identifying and protecting the lethal threats. After reviewing the existing literature, it is found that existing approaches are highly specific toward stopping threats via predefined threat information. Hence, the proposed system introduces a new computational model capable of building up a flexible validation model for evaluating the legitimacy of the IoT nodes. The proposed system develops an algorithm that uses a simplified generation of secret keys, performs encryption, and generates validation tokens to ensure a higher degree of privacy and data integrity. The proposed model also contributes towards a unique energy allocation approach to ensure better energy conservation while performing security operations. The simulated study outcome shows better security and data transmission performance compared to the existing scheme.
