Abstract

While data is being transmitted from device-to-device in any IoT network over un-trusted channel, there will appear the security challenges such as data integrity, authentication and non-repudiation for a secure system. Proxy multi-signature signature is a cryptographic primitives, where the signer signs on a given message on behalf of multiple signer involved in a protocol. In this paper, we propose a secure proxy multi-signature scheme ELDA by improving the scheme proposed by Cao et al. We have designed a network model for IoT and deployed the proposed scheme. The scheme preserves integrity of the data collected by sensors, non-repudiation and data authentication. We have done experimental analysis and compared with other relevant protocols. The scheme is secure forgery attack and length-extension attack. Our scheme ELDA possesses low computational cost and communication over head. Furthermore energy consumption is relatively very less as compared with the other schemes.
