A Secure Mutual Authentication Protocol for IoT using ID Verifier Based on ECC

Internet of Things (IoT) is a kind of system where physical substances are connected to the Internet for exchanging information. As these physical objects are used in different purposes, it may require our personal sensitive information which is precious for the intruders. Sometimes intruders claim themselves as a server or the IoT users to gain access to the valuable database or warehouse that may be harmful for the persons, society as well as the country. Many researches proposed different authentication protocols absence of mutual authentication and those who implemented mutual authentication didn't fulfill IoT security requirements. To get rid of these problems, we propose a new secure authentication protocol based on Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) using ID verifier. We use ECC rather than traditional Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) because ECC requires less key but provides equivalent security as others. The proposed protocol can accomplish mutual authentication as well as fulfills the security requirements of IoT. In this proposed protocol all the security requirements have proved by efficient analysis.
