RDA-PUF Security.pdf

Summary:

This research proposes a new mutual authentication system, Red Deer Algorithm (RDA) with Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), to enhance security in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based Internet of Things (IoT). The RDA-PUF system generates a unique key when a sensor receives a challenge from the gateway, providing complete resilience against malicious attacks. The system is resistant to node acquisition, cloning, and malicious attacks, as well as node physical security flaws.

Key Contributions:

1. RDA-PUF based clustering method using effective particle encoding design and its fitness derivative.
2. Combining RDA-PUF with a random deployment model for large-scale sensor networks.
3. RDA-PUF based routing procedure processed among transmission distance and amount of data transferred.
4. Simulation and comparison with other distribution schemes in terms of energy consumption and security.

Simulation Results:

Energy consumption: 0.7 J
End-to-end delay: 7 sec
Packet delivery ratio: 97%
Network lifetime: 1330 sec
* Secure connectivity: 1.211

Comparison:

The proposed RDA-PUF system outperforms existing Tunicate Swarm Grey Wolf optimization (TSGWO) and PUF-Based Mutual-Authenticated Key Distribution (PUF-MAKD) in terms of energy consumption and security.

Conclusion:

The RDA-PUF system provides a secure and energy-efficient solution for WSN-based IoT applications, making it a promising approach for future research and development.
