    A Hybrid and Lightweight Device-to-Server Authentication Technique for the Internet of Things

    Shaha Al-Otaibi1, Rahim Khan2,*, Hashim Ali2, Aftab Ahmed Khan2, Amir Saeed3, Jehad Ali4,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.3, pp. 3805-3823, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.049017

    Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a smart networking infrastructure of physical devices, i.e., things, that are embedded with sensors, actuators, software, and other technologies, to connect and share data with the respective server module. Although IoTs are cornerstones in different application domains, the device’s authenticity, i.e., of server(s) and ordinary devices, is the most crucial issue and must be resolved on a priority basis. Therefore, various field-proven methodologies were presented to streamline the verification process of the communicating devices; however, location-aware authentication has not been reported as per our knowledge, which is a crucial metric, especially in scenarios where… More >

    Chaotic Map-Based Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol with Low-Latency for Metasystem

    Guojun Wang1,2, Qi Liu3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.3, pp. 4471-4488, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047669

    Abstract With the rapid advancement in exploring perceptual interactions and digital twins, metaverse technology has emerged to transcend the constraints of space-time and reality, facilitating remote AI-based collaboration. In this dynamic metasystem environment, frequent information exchanges necessitate robust security measures, with Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) serving as the primary line of defense to ensure communication security. However, traditional AKA protocols fall short in meeting the low-latency requirements essential for synchronous interactions within the metaverse. To address this challenge and enable nearly latency-free interactions, a novel low-latency AKA protocol based on chaotic maps is proposed. This protocol not only ensures mutual… More >

    Abstract Wireless Network security management is difficult because of the ever-increasing number of wireless network malfunctions, vulnerabilities, and assaults. Complex security systems, such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), are essential due to the limitations of simpler security measures, such as cryptography and firewalls. Due to their compact nature and low energy reserves, wireless networks present a significant challenge for security procedures. The features of small cells can cause threats to the network. Network Coding (NC) enabled small cells are vulnerable to various types of attacks. Avoiding attacks and performing secure “peer” to “peer” data transmission is a challenging task in small… More >

    GestureID: Gesture-Based User Authentication on Smart Devices Using Acoustic Sensing

    Jizhao Liu1,2, Jiang Hui1,2,*, Zhaofa Wang1,2

    Sound & Vibration, Vol.58, pp. 151-169, 2024, DOI:10.32604/sv.2024.045193

    Abstract User authentication on smart devices is crucial to protecting user privacy and device security. Due to the development of emerging attacks, existing physiological feature-based authentication methods, such as fingerprint, iris, and face recognition are vulnerable to forgery and attacks. In this paper, GestureID, a system that utilizes acoustic sensing technology to distinguish hand features among users, is proposed. It involves using a speaker to send acoustic signals and a microphone to receive the echoes affected by the reflection of the hand movements of the users. To ensure system accuracy and effectively distinguish users’ gestures, a second-order differential-based phase extraction method… More >

    A Trust Evaluation Mechanism Based on Autoencoder Clustering Algorithm for Edge Device Access of IoT

    Xiao Feng1,2,3,*, Zheng Yuan1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 1881-1895, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.047243

    Abstract First, we propose a cross-domain authentication architecture based on trust evaluation mechanism, including registration, certificate issuance, and cross-domain authentication processes. A direct trust evaluation mechanism based on the time decay factor is proposed, taking into account the influence of historical interaction records. We weight the time attenuation factor to each historical interaction record for updating and got the new historical record data. We refer to the beta distribution to enhance the flexibility and adaptability of the direct trust assessment model to better capture time trends in the historical record. Then we propose an autoencoder-based trust clustering algorithm. We perform feature… More >

    Yi-Bo Cao1,*, Xiu-Bo Chen1, Yun-Feng He2, Lu-Xi Liu2, Yin-Mei Che2, Xiao Wang2, Ke Xiao3, Gang Xu3, Si-Yi Chen1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 2813-2827, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.046816

    Abstract Due to the rapid advancements in network technology, blockchain is being employed for distributed data storage. In the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, different participants manage multiple blockchains located in different trust domains, which has resulted in the extensive development of cross-domain authentication techniques. However, the emergence of many attackers equipped with quantum computers has the potential to launch quantum computing attacks against cross-domain authentication schemes based on traditional cryptography, posing a significant security threat. In response to the aforementioned challenges, our paper demonstrates a post-quantum cross-domain identity authentication scheme to negotiate the session key used in the cross-chain asset… More >
