The development of IoT has penetrated various sectors. The development of IoT devices continues to increase and is predicted to reach 75 billion by 2025. However, the development of IoT devices is not followed by security developments. Therefore, IoT devices can become gateways for cyber attacks, including brute force and sniffing attacks. Authentication mechanisms can be used to ward off attacks. However, the implementation of authentication mechanisms on IoT devices is challenging. IoT devices are dominated by constraint devices that have limited computing. Thus, conventional authentication mechanisms are not suitable for use. Two-factor authentication using RFID and fingerprint can be a solution in providing an authentication mechanism. Previous studies have proposed a two-factor authentication mechanism using RFID and fingerprint. However, previous research did not pay attention to message exchange security issues and did not provide mutual authentication. This research proposes a secure mutual authentication protocol using two-factor RFID and fingerprint using MQTT protocol. Two processes support the authentication process: the registration process and authentication. The proposed protocol is tested based on biometric security by measuring the false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) on the fingerprint, measuring brute force attacks, and measuring sniffing attacks. The test results obtained the most optimal FAR and FRR at the 80% threshold. Then the equal error rate (ERR) on FAR and FRR is around 59.5%. Then, testing brute force and sniffing attacks found that the proposed protocol is resistant to both attacks.

Containerization technology becomes one of alternatives in virtualization. Docker requires docker daemon to build, distribute and run the container and this makes the docker vulnerable to an attack surface called Docker daemon Attack Surface - an attack against docker daemon taking over the access (root). Using rootless mode is one way to prevent the attack. Therefore, this research demonstrates the attack prevention by making and running the docker container in the rootless mode. The success of the attack can be proven when the user is able to access the file /etc/shadow that is supposed to be only accessible for the rooted users. Findings of this research demonstrated that the file is inaccessible when the docker is run using the rootless mode. CPU usage is measured when the attack is being simulated using the docker run through root privileges and rootless mode, to identify whether the use of rootless mode in the docker adds the load of CPU usage and to what extent its increased. Results showed that the CPU use was 39% when using the docker with the rootless mode. Meanwhile, using the docker with the right of the root access was only 0%. The increase of 39% is commensurate with the benefit that can prevent the docker daemon attack surface.
