Abstract
In today’s world, Internet of Things (IoT) has penetrated every aspect of us. The security of IoT is challenging because of the open nature of wireless communication and limited resources of sensor nodes (SNs). In this paper, we propose an efficient heterogeneous signcryption scheme from IoT to an Internet server, in which the server is in a public key infrastructure (PKI) environment, while the IoT is in a certificateless cryptosystem (CLC) environment. The proposed scheme is briefly referred to as CP-EHSC. CLC can settle the drawbacks of key escrow in identity-based cryptography (IBC) and public key certificate management in PKI. At the same time, PKI is suitable for the server since it has been widely adopted on the Internet. Our proposed scheme can provide security proof in the random oracle model (ROM). Performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme not only achieves great optimization in calculation cost and communication consumption but also makes great progress in total energy consumption. In addition, we illustrate the practical applicability of our proposed scheme by providing a realistic use case scenario.
期刊介绍:
As envisioned by Mark Weiser as early as 1991, pervasive computing systems and services have truly become integral parts of our daily lives. Tremendous developments in a multitude of technologies ranging from personalized and embedded smart devices (e.g., smartphones, sensors, wearables, IoTs, etc.) to ubiquitous connectivity, via a variety of wireless mobile communications and cognitive networking infrastructures, to advanced computing techniques (including edge, fog and cloud) and user-friendly middleware services and platforms have significantly contributed to the unprecedented advances in pervasive and mobile computing. Cutting-edge applications and paradigms have evolved, such as cyber-physical systems and smart environments (e.g., smart city, smart energy, smart transportation, smart healthcare, etc.) that also involve human in the loop through social interactions and participatory and/or mobile crowd sensing, for example. The goal of pervasive computing systems is to improve human experience and quality of life, without explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies.
The Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (PMC) is a high-impact, peer-reviewed technical journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles spanning theory and practice, and covering all aspects of pervasive and mobile computing and systems.
