Homomorphic Asymmetric Encryption Applied to the Analysis of IoT Communications.

In this paper, we describe the use of homomorphic encryption techniques in order to not only ensure the data are transmitted in a confidential way, but also to use the encrypted data to provide the manager with statistics that allow them to detect the incorrect functioning of a sensor node or a group of sensors due to either malicious data injection, data transmission, or simply sensor damage (miscalibration, faulty sensor functioning). Obtaining these statistical values does not need decryption, so the process is sped up and can be developed in real time. Operating the data in this way ensures privacy and removes the need to maintain a shared key infrastructure between the sensor nodes and the manager nodes that are part of the blockchain infrastructure.

Distributed Key Management to Secure IoT Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart-Agro.

With the deepening of the research and development in the field of embedded devices, the paradigm of the Internet of things (IoT) is gaining momentum. Its technology's widespread applications increasing the number of connected devices constantly. IoT is built on sensor networks, which are enabling a new variety of solutions for applications in several fields (health, industry, defense, agrifood and agro sectors, etc.

Unified Compact ECC-AES Co-Processor with Group-Key Support for IoT Devices in Wireless Sensor Networks.

Security is a critical challenge for the effective expansion of all new emerging applications in the Internet of Things paradigm. Therefore, it is necessary to define and implement different mechanisms for guaranteeing security and privacy of data interchanged within the multiple wireless sensor networks being part of the Internet of Things. However, in this context, low power and low area are required, limiting the resources available for security and thus hindering the implementation of adequate security protocols.
