A Lightweight Multi-level Encryption Model for IoT Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cybersecurity and Secure Information Systems

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions connected, smart and pervasive nodes communicating while giving all kinds of assistance. Openness, comparatively colossal processing speed and wide distribution of IoT objects offered them an absolute destination for cyber-attacks. With the vast potential of IoT, there happen to all sorts of difficulties. In this article, an IoT environment has classified into three primary layers (i) Device layer, (ii) Communication Layer, (iii) Cloud Layer. Users, Devices, Gateway, Connection, Cloud, and Application are combined to create the various layers for IoT environment. The security issues in the cloud layer for IoT has addressed by a multilevel encryption scheme has proposed with flexible key management in the cloud environment.
