An Access Control Scheme Using Heterogeneous Signcryption for IoT Environments

When the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is combined with Internet of Things (IoT), it can be employed in a wide range applications, such as agriculture, industry 4.0, health care, smart homes, among others. Accessing big data generated by these applications Cloud Servers (CSs), requires higher levels authenticity and confidentiality during communication conducted through Internet. Signcryption one most promising approaches nowadays for overcoming obstacles, due to its nature, i.e., signature encryption. A number researchers have developed schemes address issues related access control IoT literature, however, majority are based on homogeneous nature. This will neither adequate nor practical heterogeneous environments. In addition, bilinear pairing elliptic curve cryptography, which further additional processing time more overheads that inappropriate real-time communication. Consequently, this paper aims solve above-discussed issues, we proposed an scheme environments using signcryption efficiency security hardiness hyperelliptic curve. Besides services replay attack prevention, confidentiality, integrity, unforgeability, non-repudiations, forward secrecy, has very low computational costs, when compared existing schemes. primarily because lighter nature key other parameters. The AVISPA tool used simulate requirements our results were under two backbends (Constraint Logic-based Attack Searcher (CL-b-AtSER) On-the-Fly Model Checker (ON-t-FL-MCR)) proved SAFE presented coded HLPSL language. was proven capable preventing variety attacks, including non-repudiation, attacks.
