Abstract

The implementation of secure communication in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has made and it is a significant security concern. Identity-based generalized signcryption scheme is one among the cryptographic tools available that offers a secure way out to meet the security needs of IIoT. Our proposal is a lightweight scheme, an efficient identity-based generalized signcryption that works as an encryption signature, or signcryption scheme using only one algorithm in a standard model. This scheme is appropriate for storage-limited environments like wireless sensor networks and smart cards due to its lightweight nature. This means that it can be implemented in a range of IIoT applications where resources are limited, without compromising on security or efficiency.
