Garg, Hittu, Dave, Mayank.  2019.  Securing User Access at IoT Middleware Using Attribute Based Access Control. 2019 10th International Conference on Computing, Communication and Networking Technologies (ICCCNT). :1–6.
IoT middleware is an additional layer between IoT devices and the cloud applications that reduces computation and data handling on the cloud. In a typical IoT system model, middleware primarily connects to different IoT devices via IoT gateway. Device data stored on middleware is sensitive and private to a user. Middleware must have built-in mechanisms to address these issues, as well as the implementation of user authentication and access control. This paper presents the current methods used for access control on middleware and introduces Attribute-based encryption (ABE) on middleware for access control. ABE combines access control with data encryption for ensuring the integrity of data. In this paper, we propose Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption, abbreviated CP-ABE scheme on the middleware layer in the IoT system architecture for user access control. The proposed scheme is aimed to provide security and efficiency while reducing complexity on middleware. We have used the AVISPA tool to strengthen the proposed scheme.

Mehta, N. P., Sahai, A. K..  2017.  Internet of Things: Raging Devices and Standardization in Low-Powered Protocols. 2017 Second International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Communication Technologies (ICECCT). :1–5.

This paper addresses the need for standard communication protocols for IoT devices with limited power and computational capabilities. The world is rapidly changing with the proliferation and deployment of IoT devices. This will bring in new communication challenges as these devices are connected to Internet and need to communicate with each other in real time. The paper provides an overview of IoT system architecture and the forthcoming challenges it will bring. There is an urging need to establish standards for communication in the IoT world. With the recent development of new protocols like CoAP, 6LowPAN, IEEE 802.15.4 and Thread in different layers of OSI model, additional challenges also present themselves. Performance and data management is becoming more critical than ever before due to the complexity of connecting raging number of IoT devices. The performance of the systems dealing with IoT devices will require appropriate capacity planning the associated development of data centers. Finally, the paper also presents some reasonable approaches to address the above issues in the IoT world.
