Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an infrastructure of physical objects that could be connected to the Internet. Most of these are low performance to ensure a reasonable cost for the smart physical objects. Thus, these devices usually use a lightweight messaging protocol: message queue telemetry transport with SSL/TLS. Cipher suites in device are fixed by default and selected based on preference in SSL/TLS. However, the selected cipher suite provides high security level more than expected. This limitation causes energy waste and overhead of devices. In order to counter this problem, we proposed fuzzy logic based cipher suite decision method to improve energy efficiency. Our proposed method saved 36.03% energy.
