A Review and Costing of Lightweight Authentication Schemes for Internet of Things (IoT): Towards Design of an Authentication Architecture for Smart Home Applications

Internet of Things (IoT) authentication for resource-constrained devices thrives under lightweight solutions. The requirements of the lightweight solutions are that, they have to meet the processing, storage and limited resource base of the resource-constrained devices. There are a number of lightweight solutions advanced for IoT under different domains. To provide feasible authentication solutions for smart home security calls for focus on key attributes that suit the domain in question. This paper is positioned to give a review of some existing lightweight authentication schemes, guide the selection and design of best possible solutions that can be applied to smart home environments. From the costing of randomly selected lightweight authentication techniques, the least costly solution is recommended for adoption.
