Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging fields of technology, which allows the appliance of Smart Home to connect via the internet for communicating and sharing data between them. However, ensuring the security of IoT devices is challenging for their processing and power consumption. IoT devices are resource-constrained, and traditional encryption algorithms are computationally expensive for these small-size and low-powered devices. In this research, an efficient and effective lightweight cryptographic scheme is presented for securing communication between IoT Home devices based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). It ensures complete protection against security risks such as authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and key agreement and protects against common cyber attacks. We have conducted an experimental evaluation to demonstrate that the proposed method can outperform the state-of-the-art cryptographic techniques, which significantly improves the security and reduces the storage and communication cost.
