Background

  • (IoT) Current Status
  • Question secure and efficient remote user authentication solution.
  • existing solutions a single-server architecture
  • critical challenges providing regulation of behaviors and privacy protection of access policy)
  • In this article novel secure mutual authentication system integrates blockchain

Introduction

  • home gateway provides network access between local area network (LAN) hosts to a wide area network (WAN) (like the Internet) via a modem. IP port

  • remotely communicate can be targeted and subject to exploitation.

  • The information from any single device may not be deemed sensitive

  • remote authentication approaches.

    • password-based authentication. (limitations)
      1. Lack of Privacy and Anonymity
      2. Lack of Completeness and Confidentiality
    • One-time password (OTP) authentication
  • Remote user authentication schemes based on smart cards [11] have also been widely used in applications involving remote user login, Web access, and other online services, due to their efficiency, convenience, and low computational cost.

  • blockchain-based authentications a more secure, reliable and convenient IoT systems

    • limitation : the user behaviors cannot be effectively regulated .
    • all the request transactions or access policy are in plaintext, which can be collected to statistically analyze user daily life, and thus, compromising user privacy.
    • Contributions: To further provide traceability and privacy protection of access policy, we integrate both blockchain and group signature
    • Organization: organize the reminder of this article as follows. Section II reviews the current blockchain-based smart home systems.
