APRO: Secret Key Based Data Encryption and Mutual Authentication with Privacy Preservation Model in IoT Using Autoregressive Poor and Rich Optimization.

An essential security component for the Internet of Things (IoT) is device authentication. IoT devices are widely dispersed in public and open areas, making them vulnerable to attacks. To detect the security violations, an authentication with a privacy preservation model is developed in this research using devised Autoregressive Poor and Rich Optimization (APRO)-based secret key. Here, the secret key used to perform the encryption process is generated by the proposed optimization algorithm in such a way that the data encryption mechanism is carried out by considering the Box-Cox transformation. However, the authentication process is achieved between the server and the Authorization center (AC) through the generation of authentication and verification messages. The original data is retrieved back by employing the decryption process along with the usage of the retrieval key. The proposed method achieved a minimum computation time of 0.062 sec, higher encryption quality of 92.56%, and minimum memory usage of 2.86MB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
