An E-Office Application Using a Lightweight and Quick Authentication Using IoT
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is a thought of sharing electronic information over a network, which consists of physical objects are being networked with the web. IoT contains an honest set of “smart” devices and sensors which transfer data at the network through IoT applications. The rapid expansion of IoT and wireless technologies cause finding new opportunities for growth in various fields like Transportation, Education, Agriculture, Health care and particularly within the building management application sector. However, the growing use of IoT services, especially in office organization applications will increase security challenges, like authentication of several connected objects and exchanged data. Thanks to the sensitivity of office applications, the aspect of authenticity is one among the foremost significant challenge, which should be addressed effectively. Therefore, E-office applications require an authentication scheme to guard data transfer, use and exchange between sensor nodes and Base Station. E-office applications are susceptible to several hacks, and this is often thanks to all communication occurred through a wireless medium. So, one of the most goals of building security protocols are to reinforce using of the network, which allows node sensors to avoid wasting lots of energy and cause extend the network’s lifetime and to be resistant against several kinds of attacks. At this research, we are proposing an efficient secured group-based lightweight authentication scheme for IoT based E-office applications, this scheme authenticates and establishes secure channels through sensor nodes and Base Station. The proposed scheme with a feature of the group-based node will reduce distance and consumed energy, also as leads to reduce communication cost. additionally, it'll be resistant against hacks by using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC).
