In the IoT, \u201cthings\u201d are generally heterogeneous and resource constrained. In addition, such things are connected to each other over low-power and lossy networks. In this paper, we propose an inter-device authentication and session-key distribution system for devices with only encryption modules. In the proposed system, unlike existing sensor-network environments where the key distribution center distributes the key, each sensor node is involved with the generation of session keys. In addition, in the proposed scheme, the performance is improved so that the authenticated device can calculate the session key in advance. The proposed mutual authentication and session-key distribution system can withstand replay attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and wiretapped secret-key attacks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16010020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,28]],"date-time":"2015-12-28T04:23:49Z","timestamp":1451276629000},"page":"20","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":103,"title":["Mutual Authentication Scheme in Secure Internet of Things Technology for Comfortable Lifestyle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4434-8933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Namje","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Education, Teachers College, Jeju National University, 61 Iljudong-ro, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province 690-781, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Namhi","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Digital Media Department, Duksung Women\u2019s University, Ssangmoon-Dong 419, Dobong-Gu, Seoul 132-714, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"So What is Connected Intelligence?
