Design and Implementation of The Capability Token based Access Control System in the Internet of Things

ABSTRACT IoT (Internet of Things) propels current networked communities into a advanced hyper-connected society/world where uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices are associated with the existing internet infrastructure. Therefore, the IoT services go beyond mere M2M (Machine-to-Machine communications) and should be able to empower users with more flexible communication capabilities over protocols, domains, and applica tions. In addition, The access control in IoT need a differenti ated methods from the traditional access control to increase a security and dependability. In this paper, we describe implementatio n and design of the capability token based system for secure access control in IoT environments. In the proposed system, Authorities are symbolized into concepts of the capability toke ns, and the access control systems manage the tokens, creation, (re)delegation and revocation. The proposed system is expected to decrease the process time of access control by using capability tokens. Keywords: Internet of Things, Access Control, Capability Token, ACL, CL
