Abstract

Internet of things is an evolving technology which connects multiple embedded devices with a remote server over Internet. Due to limited capacity of embedded devices, it is important to delegate resources from third-party platform. Lots of research is going on to connect IoT devices to a wide resource pool such as cloud. This integration of IoT with cloud services has enormous possibility for future as resource-intensive processes can be delegated to cloud platform instead of executing in IoT node. This paper proposes a lightweight three-way authentication scheme for IoT in cloud where mutual authentication between IoT node and user’s smart device is performed by remote IoT gateway in cloud. The proposed scheme uses a three-factor user authentication to prevent device theft attack and ECC-based communication protocols to ensure less computation and communication overhead. Moreover, the proposed scheme is analysed to show that it is secure against existing relevant cryptographic attacks.
