Security in Wireless Sensor Network and IoT: An Elliptic Curves Cryptosystem based Approach

摘要

The last decade, wireless sensor networks (WSN) implementation have been widely studied in the Internet of Things (IoT), and security part still relevant as challenges and solutions need to be addressed and improved. Securing a WSN in the IoT application passes by proposing mechanisms that ensure connectivity between devices with reduced costs in terms of energy consumption and resources use. In this paper, we propose a robust approach ECC_ASV, which is based on elliptic curves cryptosystem (ECC) where the objective is to improve network robustness against attacks such as man-in-the-middle. ECC_ASV should ensure key management and authentication between sensors under constraints with minimum computational time.
