Abstract

Recently, due to the increase in the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the amount of data transmitted and processed to cloud computing servers has increased rapidly. As a result, network problems (delay, server overload and security threats) are emerging. In particular, edge computing with lower computational capabilities than cloud computing requires a lightweight authentication algorithm that can easily authenticate numerous IoT devices.In this paper, we proposed a key-agreement protocol of a lightweight algorithm that guarantees anonymity and forward and backward secrecy between IoT and edge devices. and the proposed algorithm is stable in MITM and replay attacks for edge device and IoT. As a result of comparing and analyzing the proposed key-agreement protocol with previous studies, it was shown that a lightweight protocol that can be efficiently used in IoT and edge devices.

최근 사물인터넷(Internet of Things, IoT) 기기 사용 증가로 인해 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서버로 전송해 처리하는 데이터양이 급증하고, 그 결과 네트워크 관련 문제점(지연, 서버의 과부하 및 보안 위협)들이 크게 대두되고 있다. 특히, 연산 능력이 클라우드 컴퓨팅보다 낮은 에지 컴퓨팅은 수많은 IoT 기기들을 손쉽게 인증할 수 있는 경량화된 인증 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 IoT와 에지 장치 간 익명성과 순방향·역방향의 비밀성을 보장하고 중간자 공격과 재전송 공격에 안정적이며, 에지 장치와 IoT 기기 특성에 적합한 경량화 알고리즘의 키 동의 프로토콜을 제안하였고, 제안한 키 동의 프로토콜을 기존 연구와 비교·분석한 결과 IoT 기기와 에지 장치에서 효율적으로 사용 가능한 경량화 프로토콜임을 보였다.
