Outline of Final Research Achievements

Many of inter-connected devices used for IoT environments have restricted computing power and memory, so it is difficult to efficiently to execute secure authentication using conventional security techniques. Also, different from conventional information systems, the features of mobility and socialization in IoT environments, and security and privacy problems that occurred when utilizing data gathered from connected devices are getting more and more complicated.
In this research, in order to solve these problems mentioned above, we have researched and developed new technologies for IoT authentication and privacy protection. Specifically, we proposed some batch authentication schemes and biometric authentication method for IoT devices achieving both security and efficiency. Furthermore, we proposed a framework to integrate intrusion and anomaly detection systems to collect and manage data privacy in IoT environment, and demonstrated its effectiveness in implementation verification.
