- Abstract
- Smart homes are an emerging paradigm of Internet of Things (IoT) in which users can remotely control various home devices via the internet anytime and anywhere. However, smart home environments are vulnerable to security attacks because an attacker can inject, insert, intercept, delete, and modify transmitted messages over an insecure channel. Thus, secure and lightweight authentication protocols are essential to ensure useful services in smart home environments. In 2021, Kaur and Kumar presented a two-factor based user authentication protocol for smart homes using elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC). Unfortunately, we demonstrate that their scheme cannot resist security attacks such as impersonation and session key disclosure attacks, and also ensure secure user authentication. Moreover, their scheme is not suitable in smart home environments because it utilizes public-key cryptosystems such as ECC. Hence, we design a secure and lightweight three-factor based privacy-preserving authentication scheme for IoT-enabled smart home environments to overcome the security problems of Kaur and Kumar's protocol. We prove the security of the proposed scheme by using informal and formal security analyses such as the ROR model and AVISPA simulation. In addition, we compare the performance and security features between the proposed scheme and related schemes. The proposed scheme better provides security and efficiency compared with the previous schemes and is more suitable than previous schemes for IoT-enabled smart home environments.
