LEAF-IIoT: Lightweight and Efficient Authentication Framework for the Industrial Internet of Things

Blog Article

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a revolutionary communication technology, enabling the connection of resource-limited devices to the Internet.These devices are deployed in various industrial control systems to remotely monitor and control industrial applications.However, the public Internet’s inherent vulnerability to malicious attacks poses a significant challenge to the secure operation of these systems.To address this challenge, a lightweight and efficient authentication framework, LEAF-IIoT, is proposed.LEAF-IIoT leverages authenticated encryption General Wellness (AE) techniques to provide a multifaceted security solution encompassing Display Stands confidentiality, authentication, and data integrity.

It establishes a secure channel by exchanging messages between the user, gateway, and smart embedded device, culminating in the creation of a session key for secure data exchange.Rigorous security assessment confirms the robustness of LEAF-IIoT, while performance evaluation demonstrates its significantly lower computational cost and reduced communication overhead compared to existing frameworks.Despite these efficiencies, LEAF-IIoT continues to provide strong security features, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of data exchanged in the IIoT context.
