A multi-protocol security framework to support Internet of Things

In this paper we are proposing a multi-protocol security framework for sensors and actuators used in Internet of Things (IoT). This is to make sure that IoT security framework is capable of accommodating a number of secure communication protocols to support diverse need of IoT systems. The proposed framework will extend scope of combining common security functionalities like mutual authentication, malware injection of all integrated secure communication protocols and will make these services universally available to them. The IoT provision requires all diverse actuators and sensor networks connected together. The aim of the proposed security framework is to secure this connected diverse networks universally with least amount of performance tradeoff. © ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering 2017.
