Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the driver of security and system control science and creativity for the elderly. Another protection challenge that needs to be addressed is the bootstraping. The newly installed computer completes a series of operations during the startup process so that it can access the network as a dependent member. One of the methods currently offered by the IETF EAP Method Update (EMU) Working Group (WG) is the use of the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to enforce the validation mechanism of IoT devices in a more efficient and scalable way. The EAP-Nimble out-of-band (EAP-NOOB) operates without pre-configuration and allows for security to be improved by out-of-band networks. in this paper we explain the process of combining the EAP-NOOB method with the third-party authentication scheme of Kerberos to provide mutual authentication in the IoT environment. Compared with other methods, the advantage of this method is that it does not require any modification to the access point, so it is easy to deploy at a reasonable cost. Provide security analysis to highlight the robustness of the proposed new protocol.
