Secure Authentication

With the development in wireless communication and low-power device, users can receive various useful services such as electric vehicle (EV) charging, smart building, and smart home services at anytime and anywhere in smart grid (SG) environments. The SG devices send demand of electricity to the remote control center and utility center (UC) to use energy services, and UCs handle it for distributing electricity efficiently. However, in SG environments, the transmitted messages are vulnerable to various attacks because information related to electricity is transmitted over an insecure channel. Thus, secure authentication and key agreement are essential to provide secure energy services for legitimate users. In 2019, Kumar et al. presented a secure authentication protocol for demand response management in the SG system. However, we demonstrate that their protocol is insecure against masquerade, the SG device stolen, and session key disclosure attacks and does not ensure secure mutual authentication. Thus, we propose a privacy-preserving lightweight authentication protocol for demand response management in the SG environments to address the security shortcomings of Kumar et al.’s protocol. The proposed protocol withstands various attacks and ensures secure mutual authentication and anonymity. We also evaluated the security features of the proposed scheme using informal security analysis and proved the session key security of proposed scheme using the ROR model. Furthermore, we showed that the proposed protocol achieves secure mutual authentication between the SG devices and the UC using Burrows–Abadi–Needham (BAN) logic analysis. We also demonstrated that our authentication protocol prevents man-in-the-middle and replay attacks utilizing AVISPA simulation tool and compared the performance analysis with other existing protocols. Therefore, the proposed scheme provides superior safety and efficiency other than existing related protocols and can be suitable for practical SG environments.

Provably Secure

In smart cities, common infrastructures are merged and integrated with various components of information communication and technology (ICT) to be coordinated and controlled. Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) are amongst those components, and when coordinated with each other and with the environment, the drones form an Internet of Drones (IoD). The IoD provides real-time data to the users in smart cities by utilizing traditional cellular networks. However, the delicate data gathered by drones are subject to many security threats and give rise to numerous privacy and security issues. A robust and secure authentication scheme is required to allow drones and users to authenticate and establish a session key. In this article, we proposed a provably secure symmetric-key and temporal credential-based lightweight authentication protocol (TC-PSLAP) to secure the drone communication. We prove that the proposed scheme is provably secure formally through the automated verification tool AVISPA and Burrows–Abadi–Needham logic (BAN logic). Informal security analysis is also performed to depict that the proposed TC-PSLAP can resist known attacks.
