Lightweight Message Authentication Protocol for Low-Resource IoT Devices

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of physical objects attached to software and other technologies that allow them to connect to and exchange information between devices and systems over the Internet. There is a framework in the Internet of Things (IoT) in which devices are usually outfitted with wireless sensor nodes to connect several physical devices over the medium to obtain data without human intervention. Message Authentication in low-resource devices such as sensors is inefficient with heavy protocols because it quickly drains the battery. In our proposed scheme, we used CRC. We compared it with other hashing protocols to introduce a lightweight message authentication protocol for low-resource devices in various fields, such as healthcare and daily life gadgets.
