ABSTRACT

This chapter considers sensor node as device, because the functionalities and operational principle of wireless sensor networks makes it appropriate, and mandatory candidate of IoT. The related work is summarized based on the parameters like mutual authentication, lightweight solution, resistant to attacks, distributed nature, and access control solution. Mutual Identity Establishment and Capability-based Access Control scheme presented in this chapter is also applicable to security bootstrapping as well as access control. The evaluation will focus on identity establishment in terms of one way, and mutual as the most important processes in the authentication. Identity establishment is known as the central element to address the security and privacy problems in IoT. It can prevent unauthorized users from getting access to resources, prevent legitimate users from accessing resources in an unauthorized manner, and enable authentic users to access resources in legal manner.
