An Access Control Mechanism and Decentralization Authentication in IOT Devices

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative technology that enables physical devices to be connected to the Internet, thus linking software services with the physical world. As the number of interconnected devices increases, conventional centralized authentication methods become bottlenecks and single points of failure, rendering them susceptible to assaults. The concept of an Access Control (AC) Mechanism and Decentralized Authentication in IoT Devices is to guarantee secure and streamlined interactions within the IoT ecosystem. So, AC systems govern the authorization of devices and users to access resources and carry out specific actions, hence preventing illegal usage and potential security breaches. Securing permitted AC inside the IoT is crucial for safeguarding privacy and ensuring safety. The main aim of this study is to analyze an AC mechanism and decentralized authentication in IoT devices. The study introduced a new framework that integrates IOTA (distributed ledger technology), having hierarchical identity-grounded encryption. This integration improves both the security along with scalability of IoT. The system demonstrates practical feasibility, with negligible variations in operational time, specifically in the processes of verifying access privileges, having a minimal deviation of 33.35%. This thorough security assessment seemed to offer a strong and precise comprehension of the system's ability to withstand and remain dependable in different hostile circumstances, guaranteeing its appropriateness for safe IoT environments. This study highlighted the significance of selecting the appropriate platform in IoT system architectures and offers valuable insights for implementing efficient, secure, and scalable IoT environments.
