Energy-aware dynamic Internet of Things security system based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography and Message Queue Telemetry Transport protocol for mitigating Replay attacks

Abstract Security in the context of Internet of Things (IoT) is a critical challenge. The purpose of this work is to model and evaluate a dynamic IoT security system based on a generic IoT edge network in which nodes exchange messages through the Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. This work aims to increase MQTT security by mitigating data tampering, eavesdropping and Replay attacks by using the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), timestamps and wake up patterns, with the purpose of preserving node energy. The evaluated results will show that it is possible to increase the system lifetime by linking security levels and energy.
