Modular exponentiation (ME) is a complex operation for several public-key cryptosystems (PKCs). Moreover, ME is expensive for resource-constrained devices in terms of computation time and energy consumption, especially when the exponent is large. ME is defined as the task of raising an integer x to power k and reducing the result modulo some integer n. Several methods to calculate ME have been proposed. In this paper, we present the efficient ME methods. We then implement the methods using different security levels of RSA keys on a Raspberry Pi. Finally, we give the fast ME method.

Security is a key concern across the world, and it has been a common thread for all critical sectors. Nowadays, it may be stated that security is a backbone that is absolutely necessary for personal safety. The most important requirements of security systems for individuals are protection against theft and trespassing. CCTV cameras are often employed for security purposes. The biggest disadvantage of CCTV cameras is their high cost and the need for a trustworthy individual to monitor them. As a result, a solution that is both easy and cost-effective, as well as secure has been devised. The smart door lock is built on Raspberry Pi technology, and it works by capturing a picture through the Pi Camera module, detecting a visitor's face, and then allowing them to enter. Local binary pattern approach is used for Face recognition. Remote picture viewing, notification, on mobile device are all possible with an IOT based application. The proposed system may be installed at front doors, lockers, offices, and other locations where security is required. The proposed system has an accuracy of 89%, with an average processing time is 20 seconds for the overall process.

Management control and monitoring of production activities in intelligent environments in subway mines must be aligned with the strategies and objectives of each agent. It is required that in operations, the local structure of each service is fault-tolerant and that large amounts of data are transmitted online to executives to make effective and efficient decisions. The paper proposes an architecture that enables strategic text analysis on the Internet of Things devices through task partitioning with multiple agent systems and evaluates the feasibility of the design by building a prototype that improves communication. The results validate the system's design because Raspberry Pi can execute text mining algorithms and agents in about 3 seconds for 197 texts. This work emphasizes multiple agents for text analytics because the algorithms, along with the agents, use about 70% of a Raspberry Pi CPU.

Security is a requirement in society, yet its wide implementation is held back because of high expenses, and barriers to the use of technology. Experimental implementation of security at low cost will only help in promoting the technology at more affordable prices. This paper describes the design of a security system of surveillance using Raspberry Pi and Arduino UNO. The design senses the presence of \$a\$ human in a surveillance area and immediately sets off the buzzer and simultaneously starts capturing video of the motion it had detected and stores it in a folder. When the design senses a motion, it immediately sends an SMS to the user. The user of this design can see the live video of the motion it detects using the internet connection from a remote area. Our objective of making a low-cost surveillance area security system has been mostly fulfilled. Although this is a low-cost project, features can be compared with existing commercially available systems.

With the explosive growth of IoT applications, billions of things are now connected via edge devices and a colossal volume of data is sent over the internet. Providing security to the user data becomes crucial. The rise in zero-day attacks are a challenge in IoT scenarios. With the large scale of IoT application detection and mitigation of such attacks by the network administrators is cumbersome. The edge device Raspberry pi is remotely logged using Secure Shell (SSH) protocol in 90% of the IoT applications. The case study of SSH brute force attack on the edge device Raspberry pi is demonstrated with experimentation in the IoT networking scenario using Intrusion Detection System (IDS). The IP crawlers available on the internet are used by the attacker to obtain the IP address of the edge device. The proposed system continuously monitors traffic, analysis the log of attack patterns, detects and mitigates SSH brute attack. An attack hijacks and wastes the system resources depriving the authorized users of the resources. With the proposed IDS, we observe 25% CPU conservation, 40% power conservation and 10% memory conservation in resource utilization, as the IDS, mitigates the attack and releases the resources blocked by the attacker.

Thousands of people have lost their life by COVID-19 infection. Authorities have seen the calamities caused by the corona virus in China. So, when the trace of virus was found in India, the only possible way to stop the spread of the virus was to go into lockdown. In a country like India where a major part of the population depends on the daily wages, being in lockdown started affecting their life. People where tend to go out for getting the food items and other essentials, and this caused the spread of virus. Many were infected and many lost their life by this. Due to the pandemic, the whole world was affected and many people working in foreign countries lost their jobs as well. These people who came back to India caused further spread of the virus. The main reason for the spread is lack of hygiene and a proper system to monitor the symptoms. Even though our country was in lockdown for almost 6 months the number of COVID cases doesn't get diminished. It is not practical to extend the lockdown any further, and people have decided to live with the virus. But it is essential to take the necessary precautions while interacting with the society. Automated system for checking that all the COVID protocols are followed and early symptom identification before entering to a place are essential to stop the spread of the infection. This research work proposes a smart door system, which evaluates the COVID-19 risk factors and collects the data of person before entering into any place, thereby ensuring that non-infected people are only entering to the place and thus the spread of virus can be avoided.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices use different types of media and protocols to communicate to Internet, but security is compromised since the devices are not using encryption, authentication and integrity. Virtual Private Network of Things (VPNoT) is a new technology designed to create end to end encrypted tunnels for IoT devices, in this case, the VPNoT device is based on OpenVPN that provides confidentiality and integrity, also based on Raspberry Pi as the hardware and Linux as the operating system, both provide connectivity using different types of media to access Internet and network management. IoT devices and sensors can be connected to the VPNoT device so an encrypted tunnel is created to an IoT Server. VPNoT device uses a profile generated by the server, then all devices form a virtual private network (VPN). VPNoT device can act like a router when necessary and this environment works for IPv6 and IPv4 with a great advantage that OpenVPN traverses NAT permitting private IoT servers be accessible to the VPN. The annual cost of the improvement is about \$455 USD per year for 10 VPNoT devices.

Security is a major thing to focus on during this modern era as it is very important to secure your surroundings for the well being of oneself and his family, But there are many drawbacks of using conventional security surveillance cameras as they have to be set in a particular angle for good visual and they do not cover a large area, conventional security cameras can only be used from a particular device and cannot alert the user during an unforeseen circumstance. Hence we require a much more efficient device for better security a web controlled surveillance robot is much more practical device to be used compared to conventional security surveillance, this system needs a single camera to perform its operation and the user can monitor a wide range of area, any device with a wireless connection to the internet can be used to operate this device. This robot can move to any location within the range of the network and can be accessed globally from anywhere and as it uses only one camera to secure a large area it is also cost-efficient. At the core of the system lies Raspberry-pi which is responsible for all the operation of the system and the size of the device can be engineered according to the area it is to be used.

This paper proposes a real time implementation of a smart key which is a Wi-Fi based device that helps to lock/unlock all kinds of doors. Internet access allows to control doors all over the world by a simple mobile application. The app developed can be used in two modes ADMIN and GUEST mode. The ADMIN mode is protected by pin/password and is encrypted by the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. The password can be stored in the Key store and it can be changed whenever required. The ADMIN mode has the privilege to authenticate the GUEST mode to access all doors. For GUEST mode authentication, guests have to request the admin by using the app. Firebase is used as a server where the device and the mobile app are connected to it. Firebase is fast and accurate and hence can be accessed quickly. The main advantage of this proposed method is that it is fully operated through Internet so it can locked/unlocked wherever from the world. Comparative analysis is taken for three algorithms i.e., AES, DES and 3-DES and AES algorithm has given the best results in terms of execution time and memory usage and is implemented in the hardware lock. The experimental results give the screen shots of the app in guest and admin mode, firebase data and hardware real time implementation of the smart lock on a door.

This paper describes a realisation of a ResNet face recognition method through Zigbee-based wireless protocol. The system uses a CC2530 Zigbee-based radio frequency chip with connected VC0706 camera on it. The Arduino Nano had been used for organisation of data compression and effective division of Zigbee packets. The proposed solution also simplifies a data transmission within a strict bandwidth of Zigbee protocol and reliable packet forwarding in case of frequency distortion. The following investigation model uses Raspberry Pi 3 with connected Zigbee End Device (ZED) for successful receiving of important images and acceleration of deep learning interfaces. The model is integrated into a smart security system based on Zigbee modules, MySQL database, Android application and works in the background by using daemons procedures. To protect data, all wireless connections had been encrypted by the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-128) algorithm. Experimental results show a possibility to implement complex systems under restricted requirements of available transmission protocols.

This paper presents an analysis of Rabin-P encryption scheme on microprocessor platform in term of runtime and energy consumption. A microprocessor is one of the devices utilized in the Internet of Things (IoT) structure. Therefore, in this work, the microprocessor selected is the Raspberry Pi that is powered with a smaller version of the Linux operating system for embedded devices, the Raspbian OS. A comparative analysis is then conducted for Rabin-p and RSA-OAEP cryptosystem in the Raspberry Pi setup. A conclusion can be made that Rabin-p performs faster in comparison to the RSA-OAEP cryptosystem in the microprocessor platform. Rabin-p can improve decryption efficiency by using only one modular exponentiation while produces a unique message after the decryption process.

Smart home is one application of the pervasive computing branch of science. Three categories of smart homes, namely comfort, healthcare, and security. The security system is a part of smart home technology that is very important because the intensity of crime is increasing, especially in residential areas. The system will detect the face by the webcam camera if the user enters the correct password. Face recognition will be processed by the Raspberry pi 3 microcontroller with the Principal Component Analysis method using OpenCV and Python software which has outputs, namely actuators in the form of a solenoid lock door and buzzer. The test results show that the webcam can perform face detection when the password input is successful, then the buzzer actuator can turn on when the database does not match the data taken by the webcam or the test data and the solenoid door lock actuator can run if the database matches the test data taken by the sensor. webcam. The mean response time of face detection is 1.35 seconds.

Video surveillance plays an important role in our times. It is a great help in reducing the crime rate, and it can also help to monitor the status of facilities. The performance of the video surveillance system is limited by human factors such as fatigue, time efficiency, and human resources. It would be beneficial for all if fully automatic video surveillance systems are employed to do the job. The automation of the video surveillance system is still not satisfying regarding many problems such as the accuracy of the detector, bandwidth consumption, storage usage, etc. This scientific paper mainly focuses on a video surveillance system using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), IoT and cloud. The system contains multi nods, each node consists of a microprocessor(Raspberry Pi) and a camera, the nodes communicate with each other using client and server architecture. The nodes can detect humans using a pretraining MobileNetv2-SSDLite model and Common Objects in Context(COCO) dataset, the captured video will stream to the main node(only one node will communicate with cloud) in order to stream the video to the cloud. Also, the main node will send an SMS notification to the security team to inform the detection of humans. The security team can check the videos captured using a mobile application or web application. Operating the Object detection model of Deep learning will be required a large amount of the computational power, for instance, the Raspberry Pi with a limited in performance for that reason we used the MobileNetv2-SSDLite model.

The popularity and demand of home automation has increased exponentially in recent years because of the ease it provides. Recently, development has been done in this domain and few systems have been proposed that either use voice assistants or application for controlling the electrical appliances. However; less emphasis is laid on power efficiency and this system cannot be integrated with the existing appliances and hence, the entire system needs to be upgraded adding to a lot of additional cost in purchasing new appliances. In this research, the objective is to design such a system that emphasises on power efficiency as well as can be integrated with the already existing appliances. NodeMCU, along with Raspberry Pi, Firebase realtime database, is used to create a system that accomplishes such endeavours and can control relays, which can control these appliances without the need of replacing them. The experiments in this paper demonstrate triggering of electrical appliances using voice assistant, fire alarm on the basis of flame sensor and temperature sensor. Moreover; use of android application was presented for operating electrical appliances from a remote location. Lastly, the system can be modified by adding security cameras, smart blinds, robot vacuums etc.

This work proposes a scheme to detect, isolate and mitigate malicious disruption of electro-mechanical processes in legacy PLCs where each PLC works as a finite state machine (FSM) and goes through predefined states depending on the control flow of the programs and input-output mechanism. The scheme generates a group-signature for a particular state combining the signature shares from each of these PLCs using \$(k,\textbackslashtextbackslash l)\$-threshold signature scheme.If some of them are affected by the malicious code, signature can be verified by k out of l uncorrupted PLCs and can be used to detect the corrupted PLCs and the compromised state. We use OpenPLC software to simulate Legacy PLC system on Raspberry Pi and show İ/O\$ pin configuration attack on digital and pulse width modulation (PWM) pins. We describe the protocol using a small prototype of five instances of legacy PLCs simultaneously running on OpenPLC software. We show that when our proposed protocol is deployed, the aforementioned attacks get successfully detected and the controller takes corrective measures. This work has been developed as a part of the problem statement given in the Cyber Security Awareness Week-2017 competition.

Control-flow attacks cause powerful threats to the software integrity. Remote attestation for control flow is a crucial security service for ensuring the software integrity on embedded platforms. The fine-grained remote control-flow attestation with execution-profiling Control-Flow Graph (CFG) is applied to defend against control-flow attacks. It is a safe scheme but it may influence the runtime efficiency. In fact, we find out only the vulnerable parts of a program need being attested at costly fine-grained level to ensure the security, and the remaining normal parts just need a lightweight coarse-grained check to reduce the overhead. We propose Mutable Granularity Control-Flow Attestation (MGC-FA) scheme, which bases on a probabilistic model, to distinguish between the vulnerable and normal parts in the program and combine fine-grained and coarse-grained control-flow attestation schemes. MGC-FA employs the execution-profiling CFG to apply the remote control-flow attestation scheme on embedded devices. MGC-FA is implemented on Raspberry Pi with ARM TrustZone and the experimental results show its effect on balancing the relationship between runtime efficiency and control-flow security.

The progressed computational abilities of numerous asset compelled gadgets mobile phones have empowered different research zones including picture recovery from enormous information stores for various IoT applications. The real difficulties for picture recovery utilizing cell phones in an IoT situation are the computational intricacy and capacity. To manage enormous information in IoT condition for picture recovery a light-weighted profound learning base framework for vitality obliged gadgets. The framework initially recognizes and crop face areas from a picture utilizing Viola-Jones calculation with extra face classifier to take out the identification issue. Besides, the utilizes convolutional framework layers of a financially savvy pre-prepared CNN demonstrate with characterized highlights to speak to faces. Next, highlights of the huge information vault are listed to accomplish a quicker coordinating procedure for constant recovery. At long last, Euclidean separation is utilized to discover comparability among question and archive pictures. For exploratory assessment, we made a nearby facial pictures dataset it including equally single and gathering face pictures. In the dataset can be utilized by different specialists as a scale for examination with other ongoing facial picture recovery frameworks. The trial results demonstrate that our planned framework beats other cutting edge highlight extraction strategies as far as proficiency and recovery for IoT-helped vitality obliged stages.

Border areas are generally considered as places where great deal of violence, intrusion and cohesion between several parties happens. This often led to danger for the life of employees, soldiers and common man working or living in border areas. Further geographical conditions like mountains, snow, forest, deserts, harsh weather and water bodies often lead to difficult access and monitoring of border areas. Proposed system uses thermal imaging camera (FLIR) for detection of various objects and infiltrators. FLIR is assigned an IP address and connected through local network to the control center. Software code captures video and subsequently the intrusion detection. A motor controlled spotlight with infrared and laser gun is used to illuminate under various conditions at the site. System also integrates sound sensor to detect specific sounds and motion sensors to sense suspicious movements. Based on the decision, a buzzer and electric current through fence for further protection can be initiated. Sensors are be integrated through IoT for an efficient control of large border area and connectivity between sites.

In this paper, an intruder detection system has been built with an implementation of convolutional neural network (CNN) using raspberry pi, Microsoft's Azure and Twilio cloud systems. The CNN algorithm which is stored in the cloud is implemented to basically classify input data as either intruder or user. By using the raspberry pi as the middleware and raspberry pi camera for image acquisition, efficient execution of the learning and classification operations are performed using higher resources that cloud computing offers. The cloud system is also programmed to alert designated users via multimedia messaging services (MMS) when intruders or users are detected. Furthermore, our work has demonstrated that, though convolutional neural network could impose high computing demands on a processor, the input data could be obtained with low-cost modules and middleware which are of low processing power while subjecting the actual learning algorithm execution to the cloud system.

In Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange (DHKE), two parties need to communicate to each other by sharing their secret key (cipher text) over an unsecure communication channel. An adversary or cryptanalyst can easily get their secret keys but cannot get the information (plaintext). Brute force is one the common tools used to obtain the secret key, but when the key is too large (etc. 1024 bits and 2048 bits) this tool is no longer suitable. Thus timing attacks have become more attractive in the new cryptographic era where networked embedded systems security present several vulnerabilities such as lower processing power and high deployment scale. Experiments on timing attacks are useful in helping cryptographers make security schemes more resistant. In this work, we timed the computations of the Discrete Log Hard Problem of the Diffie Hellman Key Exchange (DHKE) protocol implemented on an embedded system network and analyzed the timing patterns of 1024-bit and 2048-bit keys that was obtained during the attacks. We have chosen to implement the protocol on the Raspberry-pi board over U-BOOT Bare Metal and we used the GMP bignum library to compute numbers greater than 64 bits on the embedded system.

Robots remain the focus of researchers and developers, and now they are moving towards IoT based devices and mobile robots to take advantage of the different sensor enables facilities. A robot is a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer. A robot can be controlled by a human and can be modified by its functionality at runtime by the operator. From past few decades, researchers are contributing towards Robotics. There is no end of technology, creativity, and innovation. The project is designed to develop a robot using android application for remote operation attached to the wireless camera for monitoring purpose. Surveillance using the camera can help the soldier team to make strategies at run-time. This kind of robot can be helpful for spying purpose in war fields. The android application loaded on mobile devices can connect to the security system and easy to use GUI and visualization of the Warfield. The security system then acts on these commands and responds to the user. The camera and the motion detector are attached to the system for remote surveillance using wireless protocol 802.11, ZigBee and Bluetooth protocols. This robot is having the functionality of mines detection, object detection, GPS used for location and navigation and a gun to fire the enemy at the runtime.

We propose POWERALERT, an efficient external integrity checker for untrusted hosts. Current attestation systems suffer from shortcomings, including requiring a complete checksum of the code segment, from being static, use of timing information sourced from the untrusted machine, or using imprecise timing information such as network round-trip time. We address those shortcomings by (1) using power measurements from the host to ensure that the checking code is executed and (2) checking a subset of the kernel space over an extended period. We compare the power measurement against a learned power model of the execution of the machine and validate that the execution was not tampered. Finally, POWERALERT randomizes the integrity checking program to prevent the attacker from adapting. We model the interaction between POWERALERT and an attacker as a time-continuous game. The Nash equilibrium strategy of the game shows that POWERALERT has two optimal strategy choices: (1) aggressive checking that forces the attacker into hiding, or (2) slow checking that minimizes cost. We implement a prototype of POWERALERT using Raspberry Pi and evaluate the performance of the integrity checking program generation.

We present an approach to tracking the behaviour of an attacker on a decoy system, where the decoy communicates with the real system only through low energy bluetooth. The result is a low-cost solution that does not interrupt the live system, while limiting potential damage. The attacker has no way to detect that they are being monitored, while their actions are being logged for further investigation. The system has been physically implemented using Raspberry PI and Arduino boards to replicate practical performance.

In this paper we discuss the Internet of Things (IoT) by exploring aspects which go beyond the proliferation of devices and information enabled by: the growth of the Internet, increased miniaturization, prolonged battery life and an IT literate user base. We highlight the role of feedback mechanisms and illustrate this with reference to implemented computer enabled factory control systems. As the technology has developed, the cost of computing has reduced drastically, programming interfaces have improved, sensors are simpler and more cost effective and high performance communications across a wide area are readily available. We illustrate this by considering an application based on the Raspberry Pi, which is a low cost, small, programmable and network capable computer based on a powerful ARM processor with a programmable I/O interface, which can provide access to sensors (and other devices). The prototype application running on this platform can sense the presence of human being, using inexpensive passive infrared detectors. This can be used to monitor the activity of vulnerable adults, logging the results to a central server using a domestic Internet solution over a Wireless LAN. Whilst this demonstrates the potential for the use of such control/monitoring systems, practical systems spanning thousands of sites will be more complex to deliver and will have more stringent data processing and management demands and security requirements. We will discuss these concepts in the context of delivery of a smart interconnected society.

IoT Network Monitor is an intuitive and user-friendly interface for consumers to visualize vulnerabilities of IoT devices in their home. Running on a Raspberry Pi configured as a router, the IoT Network Monitor analyzes the traffic of connected devices in three ways. First, it detects devices with default passwords exploited by previous attacks such as the Mirai Botnet, changes default device passwords to randomly generated 12 character strings, and reports the new passwords to the user. Second, it conducts deep packet analysis on the network data from each device and notifies the user of potentially sensitive personal information that is being transmitted in cleartext. Lastly, it detects botnet traffic originating from an IoT device connected to the network and instructs the user to disconnect the device if it has been hacked. The user-friendly IoT Network Monitor will enable homeowners to maintain the security of their home network and better understand what actions are appropriate when a certain security vulnerability is detected. Wide adoption of this tool will make consumer home IoT networks more secure.
