Abstract
Previous mutual authentication schemes operate on the basis of validated cryptographic functions and hash functions, but these functions require a certain amount of memory capacity. However, since ultra-lightweight IoT devices have a very small amount of memory capacity, these functions can not be applied. In this paper, we first propose a text steganography communication scheme suitable for ultra-lightweight IoT devices with limited resources, and then propose a mutual authentication scheme based on the text steganography communication. The proposed scheme performs mutual authentication and integrity verification using very small amount of memory. For evaluation, we implemented the proposed scheme on Arduino boards and confirmed that the proposed scheme performs well the mutual authentication and the integrity verification functions.
