Abstract

IoT sensor/edge nodes are vulnerable to many well-known threats. Maintaining the absolute reliability of any IoT LAN requires validating edge nodes before entering a network, mainly post entering a sleep state. These IoT nodes possess limited resources and measurable limits, making this a complicated issue. IoT equipment is frequently exposed to the elements since many IoT installations occur in unregulated settings. Equipment cloning and the theft of private keys from edge nodes are among the most common threats on IoT networks because of their easy physical access. These issues motivate to design a highly authentic device that intends to connect with other devices to preserve the stored and incoming data. When the authentication information matches, the connection is established with requesting device. This work aims to create an ultra-thin verification mechanism for IoT LAN-connected end equipment. The gateway, which serves as edge computing equipment, authenticates the end-user equipment. Formal and informal safety checks are performed on the recommended verification process. The simulation is done in MATLAB 2020a environment, where the proposed delicate authentication scheme works well with superior outcomes.
