HASEC-IoT: Hybrid Adaptive Security and Energy-Conscious Consensus-Based Robust Framework for Edge-IoT Systems

Abstract

The Edge-centric Internet of Things (IoT) systems encounter challenges in maintaining secure, low-latency, energy-efficient, and secure operations due to limited resources and ever-evolving threats. This letter presents HASEC-IoT: Hybrid Adaptive Security and Energy-Conscious Consensus (HASEC) framework that consists of lightweight and adaptive consensus, dynamic trust evaluation, and energy-aware encryption. The proposed approach uniquely incorporates zero-trust security principles. Additionally, HASEC-IoT produces results when compared to RAFT, PoA, and traditional techniques such as 22% less latency, 18% less energy consumption, and 25% greater resiliency. Overall HASEC-IoT produces solution that is scalable, secure, and energy-efficient for next-generation edge-enabled IoT applications and services
