Öğe A clogging resistant secure authentication scheme for fog computing services(ELSEVIER, RADARWEG 29, 1043 NX AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2021) Ali, Zeeshan; Chaudhry, Shehzad Ashraf; Mahmood, Khalid; Garg, Sahil; Lv, Zhihan; Bin Zikria, YousafFog computing (FC) is an infrastructure consisting of decentralized computing, where computing resources such as storage, applications, and data are scattered among the cloud and data source. Fog computing inherits similar privacy and security concerns present in cloud computing, such as authentication and key management issues. Recently, Wazid et al. presented a scheme of authentication key exchange for fog computing called SAKA-FC to address these issues. We analyzed and identified that the SAKA-FC suffers from some severe vulnerabilities. Furthermore, we presented an improved scheme to mitigate these problems while retaining its strengths. The formal security analysis of the proposed scheme is validated through BAN logic. At the same time, the AVISPA tool is employed for automated formal security verification. Informal security analysis is conducted to attest that the proposal can confront the known attacks. Using computation and communication costs as the metrics, the proposed scheme is also compared with some state-of-the-art schemes. The proposed scheme achieves the same communication cost as of SAKA-FC, whereas the difference in computation cost is 24%. This increase in computation cost is justifiable as the proposal is resistant to clogging attacks and provides better security than the prior schemes.Öğe ITSSAKA-MS: An Improved Three-Factor Symmetric-Key Based Secure AKA Scheme for Multi-Server Environments(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 445 HOES LANE, PISCATAWAY, NJ 08855-4141, 2020) Ali, Zeeshan; Hussain, Sajid; Rehman, Rana Haseeb Ur; Munshi, Asmaa; Liaqat, Misbah; Kumar, Neeraj; Chaudhry, Shehzad AshrafA variety of three-factor smart-card based schemes, specifically designed for telecare medicine information systems (TMIS) are available for remote user authentication. Most of the existing schemes for TMIS are customarily proposed for the single server-based environments and in a single-server environment. Therefore, there is a need for patients to distinctly register and login with each server to employ distinct services, so it escalates the overhead of keeping the cards and memorizing the passwords for the users. Whereas, in a multi-server environment, users only need to register once to resort various services for exploiting the benefits of a multi-server environment. Recently, Barman et al. proposed an authentication scheme for ehealthcare by employing a fuzzy commitment and asserted that the scheme can endure many known attacks. Nevertheless, after careful analysis, this paper presents the shortcoming related to its design. Furthermore, it proves that the scheme of Barman et al. is prone to many attacks including: server impersonation, session-key leakage, user impersonation, secret temporary parameter leakage attacks as well as its lacks user anonymity. Moreover, their scheme has the scalability issue. In order to mitigate the aforementioned issues, this work proposes an amended three-factor symmetric-key based secure authentication and key agreement scheme for multi-server environments (ITSSAKA-MS). The security of ITSSAKA-MS is proved formally under automated tool AVISPA along with a security feature discussion. Although, the proposed scheme requisites additional communication and computation costs. In contrast, the informal and automated formal security analysis indicate that only proposed scheme withstands several known attacks as compared to recent benchmark schemes.Öğe A robust authentication and access control protocol for securing wireless healthcare sensor networks(Elsevier Ltd, 2020) Ali, Zeeshan; Ghani, Anwar; Khan, Imran; Chaudhry, Shehzad Ashraf; Islam, SK Hafizul; Giri, DebasisWireless Healthcare Sensor Network (WHSN) has become one of the major research fields over the past decades that play a very prominent role in the medical field. Due to the rapid growth of technology in wireless communication, different security challenges have been raised in WHSN. Authentication protocols are used to secure the information transferred over the public channels by WHSN. For this prospect recently, Liu & Chung proposed an authentication and data transmission mechanism for WHSN. However, Challa et al. identified that Liu-Chung's scheme is vulnerable to stolen smart-card, offline password guessing, privileged insider, and user impersonation attacks. Challa et al. then proposed an enhanced scheme to overcome beforehand stated flaws. This paper denotes out that in accession to before mentioned attacks, Liu-Chung's scheme is also prone to users’ private key leakage and user impersonation attacks towards sensors. Moreover, Challa et al.’s scheme suffers from incorrectness, broadcasting problem, lack of authentication between Trusted Authority (TA) and sensor nodes, replay attack, Denial of Service (DoS) attack, forgery attack and delay in communication due to the involvement of the TA. Using the elliptic curve cryptography and bilinear paring, an improved scheme is proposed in this paper, to mitigate the weaknesses of Challah et al. and Liu-Chang schemes. The formal security analysis using simulation tool AVISPA and BAN logic demonstrate that the proposed scheme is secure. The rigorous informal security analysis also attests that our scheme is safe against well-known attacks. © 2020 Elsevier LtdÖğe Securing Smart City Surveillance: A Lightweight Authentication Mechanism for Unmanned Vehicles(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 445 HOES LANE, PISCATAWAY, NJ 08855-4141 USA, 2020) Ali, Zeeshan; Chaudhry, Shehzad Ashraf; Ramzan, Muhammad Sher; Al-Turjman, FadiThe significance of the Internet of Drones (IoD) is increasing steadily and now IoD is being practiced in many military and civilian-based applications. IoD facilitates real-time data access to the users especially the surveillance data in smart cities using the current cellular networks. However, due to the openness of communication channel and battery operations, the drones and the sensitive data collected through drones are subject to many security threats. To cope the security challenges, recently, Srinivas et al. proposed a temporal credential based anonymous lightweight authentication scheme (TCALAS) for IoD networks. Contrary to the IoD monitoring framework proposed by Srinivas et al., their own scheme can work only when there is one and only one cluster/fiying zone and is not scalable. Moreover, despite their claim of robustness, the investigation in this paper reveals that Srinivas et al.'s scheme cannot resist traceability and stolen verifier attacks. Using the lightweight symmetric key primitives and temporal credentials, an improved scheme (iTCALAS) is then proposed. The proposed scheme while maintaining the lightweightness provides security against many known attacks including traceability and stolen verifier. The proposed iTCALAS extends scalability and can work when there are several fiying zone/clusters in the IoD environment. The formal security proof along with automated verification using ProVerif show robustness of proposed iTCALAS. Moreover, the security discussion and performance comparisons show that the iTCALAS provides the known security features and completes authentication in just 2:295 msÖğe TC-PSLAP: Temporal Credential-Based Provably Secure and Lightweight Authentication Protocol for IoT-Enabled Drone Environments(WILEY-HINDAWI, ADAM HOUSE, 3RD FL, 1 FITZROY SQ, LONDON WIT 5HE, ENGLAND, 2021) Ali, Zeeshan; Alzahrani, Bander A.; Barnawi, Ahmed; Al-Barakati, Abdullah; Vijayakumar, Pandi; Chaudhry, Shehzad AshrafIn 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). +e 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.
