Abstract
User-centric service provisioning for IoT applications currently faces a challenge, where existing frameworks consider security provisioning as a one-size-fits-all paradigm. The user’s preferences on parameters like QoS and security are dynamic and change over time, while the strength of service security also inversely affects QoS. This paper builds upon our previously proposed framework, for secure and dynamic user-centric service provisioning for IoT applications, by implementing it on an IoT application simulation tool, CupCarbon. To achieve this, an extensive survey on lightweight security protocols like Trivium, Ascon, and NtruEncrypt specifically designed for IoT systems, with performance evaluation based on metrics like key generation time, encryption and decryption time, and latency values was carried out. The most efficient protocol (NtruEncrypt), was integrated into the CupCarbon simulator as an IoT application use-case scenario, and its performance compared with CupCarbon’s default security protocol - Blowfish. Analysis show NtruEncrypt has better simulation latency compared to Blowfish. Using the modified version of the CupCarbon simulator tool, researchers can model real-life user-centric IoT service provisioning scenarios where security can be provisioned as a dynamic parameter.
