Abstract

Firmware security in edge-enabled IoT devices is crucial, but existing methods struggle to balance strong protection with realistic hardware trust assumptions, device privacy, nontraceability, and resilience against attacks. This article addresses these challenges by introducing a novel permutation-based firmware attestation mechanism. Our method leverages edge servers as verifiers, low-cost memory, randomized permutations, and avalanche criteria for optimized security and efficiency. Rigorous formal and informal security analysis, coupled with performance evaluation, demonstrates superior performance against various attacks, achieving over 90% detection probability and effectively mitigating both remote and mobile software attacks. These results demonstrate the significant potential of our approach for enhancing firmware security in edge-enabled IoT devices.

基于置换的物联网边缘网络固件远程认证

支持边缘的物联网设备的固件安全性至关重要，但现有方法难以平衡强大的保护与现实的硬件信任假设、设备隐私、不可追溯性和抵御攻击的弹性。本文通过引入一种新的基于排列的固件认证机制来解决这些挑战。我们的方法利用边缘服务器作为验证器、低成本内存、随机排列和雪崩标准来优化安全性和效率。严格的正式和非正式安全分析，加上性能评估，对各种攻击表现出卓越的性能，实现超过90%的检测概率，有效减轻远程和移动软件攻击。这些结果证明了我们的方法在增强边缘物联网设备的固件安全性方面的巨大潜力。

期刊介绍： This publication provides a systems-level, focused forum for application-oriented manuscripts that address complex systems and system-of-systems of national and global significance. It intends to encourage and facilitate cooperation and interaction among IEEE Societies with systems-level and systems engineering interest, and to attract non-IEEE contributors and readers from around the globe. Our IEEE Systems Council job is to address issues in new ways that are not solvable in the domains of the existing IEEE or other societies or global organizations. These problems do not fit within traditional hierarchical boundaries. For example, disaster response such as that triggered by Hurricane Katrina, tsunamis, or current volcanic eruptions is not solvable by pure engineering solutions. We need to think about changing and enlarging the paradigm to include systems issues.
