Abstract

Smart home applications make our lives more comfortable, more convenient than ever before. However, deploying smart home applications and smart terminals could pose a potential security threat to personal information and home privacy. In order to prevent illegal use of terminals and applications, it is very necessary to establish secure and reliable communication between terminal and edge server. In this paper, we design a two-party authentication and key negotiation protocol for the smart terminal and edge service. The edge-based authentication and key negotiation scheme offloads the terminal’s main computational overhead to the edge side, and exploits cryptographic algorithms to achieve user anonymity and untraceability. Security is verified by the BAN logic and AVISPA. We also evaluate the performance by comparing our scheme with other related schemes in terms of computational overhead. The security and performance results show that our proposed scheme is suitable for edge-assisted smart home applications.
