Abstract
The fast-growing connected world has increased the dynamic demands of the Internet of things (IoT) in different sectors, and the main challenges for the IoT devices are low memory and limited computational power. In addition, the number of assailant and security threats in IoT communication are increasing rapidly. Several cryptographic mechanisms/operations have been proposed in order to prevent IoT security threats, which are mainly computationally-heavy in nature. Currently, physically unclonable function (PUF) plays an important role in designing efficient cryptographic protocols in comparison with other crypto-operations due to its light-weight process. In this paper, we revisit PUF-based authentication protocol for secure communication in IoT proposed by Braeken (2018) and identified its loopholes. From there, we design a new protocol for secure communication by utilizing PUF operation. The main objective of our protocol is to provide top-level security with less computation cost for faster responses. Our simulation results, using Scyther tool, confirm that all the private information is protected during protocol run and all the related security attacks could be protected through informal analysis. The performance of our protocol is shown to be better in terms of communication and computation overhead compared with two peer protocols.
