Robust Data Security Framework for IoT Network using Integrated Techniques

The Internet of Things (IoT) expects to improve human lives with the rapid development of resource-constrained devices and with the increased connectivity of physical embedded devices that make use of current Internet infrastructure to communicate. The major challenging in such an interconnected world of resource-constrained devices and sensors are security and privacy features. IoT is demand new approaches to security like a secure lightweight authentication technique, scalable approaches to continuous monitoring and threat mitigation, and new ways of detecting and blocking active threats. This paper presents the proposed security framework for IoT network. A detail understanding of the existing solutions leads to the development of security framework for IoT network. The framework was developed using cost effective design approach. Two components are used in developing the protocol. The components are Capability Design (mainly a ticket, token or key that provides authorization to access a device) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-Galois Counter Mode (GCM) (a-security protocol for constrained IoT devices). AES-GCM is an encryption process that is based on authentication and well suitable IoT.
