    Waseem Akram1, Khalid Mahmood2, Hafiz Burhan ul Haq3, Muhammad Asif3, Shehzad Ashraf Chaudhry4,5, Taeshik Shon6,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.1, pp. 263-280, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.052405 - 18 July 2024

    Abstract Cookies are considered a fundamental means of web application services for authenticating various Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests and maintains the states of clients’ information over the Internet. HTTP cookies are exploited to carry client patterns observed by a website. These client patterns facilitate the particular client’s future visit to the corresponding website. However, security and privacy are the primary concerns owing to the value of information over public channels and the storage of client information on the browser. Several protocols have been introduced that maintain HTTP cookies, but many of those fail to achieve More >

    Naixin Kang1, Zhenhu Ning1,*, Shiqiang Zhang1, Sadaqat ur Rehman2, Muhammad Waqas1,3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.2, pp. 3931-3943, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.029711 - 31 October 2022

    Abstract With the development of sensor technology and wireless communication technology, edge computing has a wider range of applications. The privacy protection of edge computing is of great significance. In the edge computing system, in order to ensure the credibility of the source of terminal data, mobile edge computing (MEC) needs to verify the signature of the terminal node on the data. During the signature process, the computing power of edge devices such as wireless terminals can easily become the bottleneck of system performance. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve efficiency through computational offloading. Therefore,… More >

    Abstract Cloud-based SDN (Software Defined Network) integration offers new kinds of agility, flexibility, automation, and speed in the network. Enterprises and Cloud providers both leverage the benefits as networks can be configured and optimized based on the application requirement. The integration of cloud and SDN paradigms has played an indispensable role in improving ubiquitous health care services. It has improved the real-time monitoring of patients by medical practitioners. Patients’ data get stored at the central server on the cloud from where it is available to medical practitioners in no time. The centralisation of data on the… More >

    PSAP-WSN: A Provably Secure Authentication Protocol for 5G-Based Wireless Sensor Networks

    Xuanang Li1, Shuangshuang Liu1, Saru Kumari2, Chien-Ming Chen1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.135, No.1, pp. 711-732, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.022667 - 29 September 2022

    Abstract Nowadays, the widespread application of 5G has promoted rapid development in different areas, particularly in the Internet of Things (IoT), where 5G provides the advantages of higher data transfer rate, lower latency, and widespread connections. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which comprise various sensors, are crucial components of IoT. The main functions of WSN include providing users with real-time monitoring information, deploying regional information collection, and synchronizing with the Internet. Security in WSNs is becoming increasingly essential because of the across-the-board nature of wireless technology in many fields. Recently, Yu et al. proposed a user authentication protocol for WSN.

    A Multi-Stage Secure IoT Authentication Protocol

    Khalid Alhusayni1, Raniyah Wazirali1, Mousa AlAkhras1,2, Marwah Almasri1,*, Samah Alhazmi1

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.45, No.1, pp. 459-481, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.028536 - 16 August 2022

    Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of heterogeneous and smart devices that can make decisions without human intervention. It can connect millions of devices across the universe. Their ability to collect information, perform analysis, and even come to meaningful conclusions without human capital intervention matters. Such circumstances require stringent security measures and, in particular, the extent of authentication. Systems applied in the IoT paradigm point out high-interest levels since enormous damage will occur if a malicious, wrongly authenticated device finds its way into the IoT system. This research provides a clear and updated… More >

    Active Authentication Protocol for IoV Environment with Distributed Servers

    Saravanan Manikandan1, Mosiur Rahaman1, Yu-Lin Song1,2,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.73, No.3, pp. 5789-5808, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.031490 - 28 July 2022

    Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has evolved as an advancement over the conventional Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) in pursuing a more optimal intelligent transportation system that can provide various intelligent solutions and enable a variety of applications for vehicular traffic. Massive volumes of data are produced and communicated wirelessly among the different relayed entities in these vehicular networks, which might entice adversaries and endanger the system with a wide range of security attacks. To ensure the security of such a sensitive network, we proposed a distributed authentication mechanism for IoV based on blockchain technology as… More >

    Lightweight Authentication Protocol Based on Physical Unclonable Function

    Hanguang Luo1, Tao Zou1,*, Chunming Wu2, Dan Li3, Shunbin Li1, Chu Chu4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.72, No.3, pp. 5031-5040, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.027118 - 21 April 2022

    Abstract In the emerging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), authentication problems have become an urgent issue for massive resource-constrained devices because traditional costly security mechanisms are not suitable for them. The security protocol designed for resource-constrained systems should not only be secure but also efficient in terms of usage of energy, storage, and processing. Although recently many lightweight schemes have been proposed, to the best of our knowledge, they are unable to address the problem of privacy preservation with the resistance of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in a practical way. In this paper, we propose More >

    Fingerprint Agreement Using Enhanced Kerberos Authentication Protocol on M-Health

    A. S. Anakath1,*, S. Ambika2, S. Rajakumar3, R. Kannadasan4, K. S. Sendhil Kumar5

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.43, No.2, pp. 833-847, 2022, DOI:10.32604/csse.2022.022329 - 20 April 2022

    Abstract Cloud computing becomes an important application development platform for processing user data with high security. Service providers are accustomed to providing storage centers outside the trusted location preferred by the data owner. Thus, ensuring the security and confidentiality of the data while processing in the centralized network is very difficult. The secured key transmission between the sender and the receiver in the network is a huge challenge in managing most of the sensitive data transmission among the cloud network. Intruders are very active over the network like real authenticated user to hack the personal sensitive… More >
