With the rapid advancement of information and communication technology and industrial technologies, a hyper-connected society is being realized to connect human beings, all programs and things via the Internet. IoT (Internet of Thing), which connects a thing and another thing, and things and human beings, gathers information to realize the hyper-connected society. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a push-technology-based light message transmission protocol that was developed to be optimized to the limited communication environment such as IoT. In pursuing the hyper-connected society, IoT's sensor environment information is now being used as a wide range of information on people's diseases and health management. Thus, security problems of such MQTT include not only the leak of environmental information but also the personal information infringement. To resolve such MQTT security problems, we have designed a new security MQTT communication by applying the initial-value sensitivity and pseudorandomness of the chaotic system to the integrity and confidentiality. The encryption method using our proposed chaotic system offers a simple structure and a small amount of calculation, and it is deemed to be suitable to the limited communication environment such as IoT.

With the recent advances in communication technology and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, home automation systems have emerged as a new paradigm for providing users with convenient smart home services. The IoT ecosystem has merged digital systems with the physical world, dramatically changing the way people live and work. However, at the same time, security remains one of the most significant research issues in IoT, as the deployment and application of high-availability systems come with various security risks that cause serious threats to users. Among them, the security issues arising from the interaction among devices/applications should not be underestimated. Attackers can exploit interactions among devices/applications to hack into the user's home. In this paper, we present a survey of research on detecting various types of interactions among devices/applications in IoT.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is set to transform patient care by enhancing data collection, analysis, and management through medical sensors and wearable devices. However, the convergence of IoT device vulnerabilities and the sensitivity of healthcare data raises significant data integrity and privacy concerns. In response, this research introduces the Smart-Coord system, a practical and affordable solution for securing healthcare IoT. Smart-Coord leverages blockchain technology and coordinate-based access management to fortify healthcare IoT. It employs IPFS for immutable data storage and intelligent Solidity Ethereum contracts for data integrity and confidentiality, creating a hierarchical, AES-CBC-secured data transmission protocol from IoT devices to blockchain repositories. Our technique uses a unique coordinate system to embed confidentiality and integrity regulations into a single access control model, dictating data access and transfer based on subject-object pairings in a coordinate plane. This dual enforcement technique governs and secures the flow of healthcare IoT information. With its implementation on the Matic network, the Smart-Coord system's computational efficiency and cost-effectiveness are unparalleled. Smart-Coord boasts significantly lower transaction costs and data operation processing times than other blockchain networks, making it a practical and affordable solution. Smart-Coord holds the promise of enhancing IoT-based healthcare system security by managing sensitive health data in a scalable, efficient, and secure manner. The Smart-Coord framework heralds a new era in healthcare IoT adoption, expertly managing data integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility to ensure a secure, reliable digital environment for patient data management.

As the network environment develops and speeds up, a lot of smart devices is developed, and a high-speed smart society can be realized while allowing people to interact with objects. As the number of things Internet has surged, a wide range of new security risks and problems have emerged for devices, platforms and operating systems, communications, and connected systems. Due to the physical characteristics of IoT devices, they are smaller in size than conventional systems, and operate with low power, low cost, and relatively low specifications. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the existing security solution used in the existing system. In addition, IoT devices are connected to the network at all times, it is important to ensure that personal privacy exposure, such as eavesdropping, data tampering, privacy breach, information leakage, unauthorized access, Significant security issues can arise, including confidentiality and threats to facilities. In this paper, we investigate cases of security threats and cases of network of IoT, analyze vulnerabilities, and suggest ways to minimize property damage by Internet of things.

Internet of Things architecture connected to the Internet is a technology. However, Many paper research for the lightweight Protocol of IoT Environment. In these Paper excluded secure problem about protocol. So Light weight Protocol has weakness of secure in IoT environment. All of IoT devices need encryption algorithm and authentication message code for certain level of security. However, IoT environment is difficult to using existing security technology. For this reason, Studies for Lightweight IPsec is essential in IoT environment. For Study of Lightweight IPsec, We analyze existing protocols such as IPsec, 6LoWPAN for IEEE 802.15.4 layer and Lightweight IPsec based 6LoWPAN. The result is to be obtained for the lightweight IPsec protocols for IoT environment. This protocol can compatible with Internet network.

최근 전 세계적으로 IoT(Internet of Things) 기술이 활발히 연구되고 있다. IoT 환경은 임베디드나 센서 등의 시스템에 적용되는 경우가 많다. 그 특성으로 인해, 적용된 장치들은 경량화되기 때문에 통신을 위한 프로토콜로 UDP 기반 프로토콜을 많이 사용한다. UDP 기반 프로토콜은 TCP 기반 프로토콜보다 보안 기능이 미비하므로 UDP 상에서도 보안 기능을 제공해 줄 수 있는 DTLS(Datagram Transport Layer Security)가 권고된다. 하지만 DTLS는 저전력 IoT 환경을 고려하여 만들어진 프로토콜이 아니다. 그래서 저전력 IoT 환경에서 사용하기에는 힘들다. 하지만 HIGHT(HIGh security and light weigHT) 알고리즘을 사용하면 보안적인 측면을 고려하면서도 DTLS의 알고리즘인 AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)의 높은 에너지 소모량이 해결된다. 본 논문에서는 보안 측면을 고려하면서 에너지 효율까지 고려한 KISA(Korea Internet & Security Agency, 한국인터넷진흥원)의 HIGHT 암호화 알고리즘을 기반으로 DTLS를 경량화하여 저전력 기기에서 적용할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

암호 기술은 보안에 있어 필수적인 요소이며, 암호 키는 암호기술의 안전성에 있어 가장 핵심적인 요소이다. 시스템의 보안을 위해서는, 암호 키를 안전하게 생성하고 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 생체정보 같은 민감한 데이터를 주고받는 다양한 경량 디바이스나 센서들로 구성된 IoT 환경에서도, 암호 키는 중요한 보안 요소이다. IoT 기술이 발전하면서, 일반 PC나 스마트폰이 아닌 경량 디바이스에서도 일반적인 인터넷 환경에서 활용되는 통신프로토콜 및 보안기술들이 활용된다. 특히, 가장 많이 이용되는 TLS 프로토콜은 IoT 환경에서도 활발히 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 보안프로토콜 TLS의 키 생성 과정을 분석하고 IoT 환경에서 자주 활용되는 라이브러리를 조사하였다.

IoT devices are used in many areas to perform various roles and functions in a cloud environment. However, a method of access control that can stably control the IoT device has not been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical multi-level property access control scheme that can perform stable access of IoT devices used in a cluster environment. In order to facilitate the access of the IoT device, the proposed method not only provides the ID key (security token) unique to the IoT device by providing the IoT Hub, but also allows the IoT Hub to authenticate the X.509 certificate and the private key, So that the private key of the IoT device can not be seen outside the IoT device. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed method improved the authentication accuracy by 10.5% on average and the processing time by 14.3%. The overhead of IoT Hub according to the number of IoT attributes was 9.1% lower than the conventional method.
