A Secure Identity Authentication and Privacy-Preserving Scheme for IoT

Abstract

The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought many benefits and applications and these IoT devices are used and set around our lives widely However these characteristics of IoT devices generate some security issues for IoT These security issues make the identity authentication of traditional networks be unsuitable for the IoT The security issues are lack of privacy-preservation and the occurrence of physical attack and cloning attack respectively If identity authentication doesn't consider these security issues the attacker will crack the identity authentication scheme and then cause the IoT to be attacked Therefore design of novel identity authentication scheme is a significant challenge To address these issues we propose a secure identity authentication and privacy-preserving scheme based on physical unclonable function (PUF) The security analysis shows that it is robust against different security issues The performance analysis shows our scheme can meet the resource-constrained IoT device
