Elliptic Curve Cryptography-Based Scheme for Secure Signaling and Data Exchanges in Precision Agriculture

Precision agriculture encompasses automation and application of a wide range information technology devices to improve farm output. In this environment, smart collect exchange massive number messages with other servers over public channels. Consequently, farming is exposed diverse attacks, which can have serious consequences since the sensed data are normally processed help determine agricultural field status facilitate decision-making. Although myriad security schemes has been presented in literature curb these challenges, they either poor performance or susceptible attacks. paper, an elliptic curve cryptography-based scheme presented, shown be formally secure under Burrows–Abadi–Needham (BAN) logic. addition, it semantically demonstrated offer user privacy, anonymity, unlinkability, untraceability, robust authentication, session key agreement, secrecy does not require deployment verifier tables. withstand side-channeling, physical capture, eavesdropping, password guessing, spoofing, forgery, replay, hijacking, impersonation, de-synchronization, man-in-the-middle, privileged insider, denial service, stolen device, known session-specific temporary terms performance, proposed protocol results 14.67% 18% reductions computation communication costs, respectively, 35.29% improvement supported features.
