Security Protocols in IoT Networks
Research Guide
What is Security Protocols in IoT Networks?
Security Protocols in IoT Networks are cryptographic and routing mechanisms designed to protect resource-constrained devices from attacks like Sybil and replay in interconnected systems.
This subtopic focuses on lightweight cryptography, secure routing, and energy-aware protocols for IoT. Key works include EACR-LEACH by Sankar et al. (2022, 44 citations) for cluster-based routing in WSN-IoT and cross-layered cryptography by Kore and Patil (2022, 40 citations) for smart healthcare. Over 10 recent papers address security in healthcare and automation IoT applications.
Why It Matters
Secure IoT protocols prevent breaches in smart healthcare, as in Pradhan et al. (2023, 66 citations) using 5G for AI-assisted monitoring, and e-health routing by Sengan et al. (2021, 65 citations) with machine learning. They enable safe data transmission in critical infrastructures like power systems (Jiang et al., 2022) and orthopaedic rehab (Ianculescu et al., 2019). Failures risk patient safety and grid disruptions.
Key Research Challenges
Resource Constraints in Cryptography
IoT devices lack power for heavy encryption, limiting protocol deployment. Kore and Patil (2022) propose cross-layered cryptography to reduce overhead in healthcare IoT. Balancing security and energy remains critical (Sankar et al., 2022).
Attack Detection in Routing
Sybil and replay attacks exploit ad hoc IoT routing. Sengan et al. (2021) use machine learning for security-aware routing in e-health. Real-time detection challenges persist in dynamic networks.
Scalability for Dense Networks
Clustering protocols like EACR-LEACH (Sankar et al., 2022) address energy in WSN-IoT but scale poorly with device growth. Pradhan et al. (2023) integrate 5G, yet integration with legacy systems hinders adoption.
