Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has a wide concentration in today’s technological world. It has a significant impact on smart infrastructure with a security vision. So, IoT devices with sensors or smart gadgets are used to gather important data. The data gathered from IoT are vulnerable to signal processing attacks due to the interconnection of different network categories. In this paper, a system for securing data in IoT communication is proposed. The proposed system includes two techniques. Initially, a technique with the combination of Fuzzy and Particle swarm optimization (F-PSO) is utilized to determine a secure path. Then a cryptographic technique using the Learning with Errors over Rings (R-LWE) encryption scheme is adopted for data encryption. The trust value of every node in the network is calculated using trustworthiness analysis. Then based on the trust value, the malicious nodes are segregated. After that, the characteristics of secure nodes are utilized to find the secure path between source and destination. The secure path is selected optimally using F-PSO. After finding the secure path, the data are encrypted using the R-LWE technique. The proposed system attained a throughput of 96% with less than 0.1 ms delay. An enhanced trust-based secure routing and message delivery protocol attained better performance than existing such as Advanced Encryption Standard, Tiny Encryption Algorithm, eXtended TEA, and Rivest–Shamir–Adleman encryption schemes.
