Abstract

Cryptographic authentication is needed everywhere in the IoT ecosystem, like authenticated sender, receiver, message, document, client, server, website, web server, data repository, authenticated meeting, group, community, router, switch, and so on. In this chapter, we are going to introduce the important hardware-based authentication techniques for digital signatures, digital certificate, and key exchange protocols. The hardware-based signatures adopt the existing cryptographic mechanisms of signing things that ensure authentication, integrity, and non-repudiation. That is, the device ensures the sender, who cannot deny being the sender, and the device’s message is unaltered. The following steps are to be followed for the working of hardware-based signatures: key generation, signing, and signature verification based on the SoC platform. A digital certificate is issued by a Certificate Authority (trusted third party) that is used to verify the identity of the device automatically in an IoT ecosystem. Digital certificates usually contain the identity of the device holder, the number that uniquely identifies the certificate, the expiration date, the holder’s public key copy, and the digital signature of the issuing authority. Some of the digital certificates are SSL certificates, credit/ debit card certificates, and email certificates. Key exchange protocols exchange long-term and short-term session keys securely. They use long-term keys to generate short-term keys in hardware modules. Short-term key is used as a session key. On reveal of a session key, past or future keys are not revealed for security reasons. Some of the key exchange 142protocols are IKEv1, SDES, RTP, and RTCP. Deploying such protocols in hardware platforms is still challenging and the future scope of this chapter.
