Lightweight, anonymous and mutual authentication in IoT infrastructure

Recent development in information technology and internet makes the internet of things (IoT) more popular than before. Since all of entities can be interact with each other, so some security elements such as authentication should be considered. Sensor-to-Sensor connection is one of the important communications in IoT environment. Therefore in this paper, lightweight authentication protocol between sensors in stationary and mobile mode is proposed to be suitable for constraint entities. This protocol can ensure some security and privacy features such as anonymity, untraceability and so on. At the end, security requirements and computational costs between different schemes are compared.
