Title
An Efficient Multi-Group Key Management Protocol for Heterogeneous IoT Devices
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network made up of a large number of devices which are able to automatically communicate to computer systems, people and each other providing various services for the benefit of society. These devices have the particularity of being heterogeneous and so have different capabilities in terms of storage, computing, communication and energy. One of the main challenges facing the IoT is how to secure communication between these heterogeneous devices. Among all the issues, the Group Key Management is one of the most difficult. Although different approaches have been proposed to solve it, very few of them consider the heterogeneous nature of the IoT. We propose then a highly scalable Multi-Group Key Management protocol for IoT that ensures the forward and backward secrecy, efficiently recovers from collusion attacks, guarantees the secure coexistence of several services in a single network and balances the loads between its heterogeneous devices according to their capabilities. The evaluation of our solution shows that it is efficient for large-scale heterogeneous networks even if they contain highly resource-constrained devices.
