The widespread expansion of the IoT based services are changing peoples living habits. With the vast data generation and intelligent decision support system, an IoT is supporting many industries to improve their products and services. The…
Authentication with username and password is becoming an inconvenient process for the user. End users typically have little control over their personal privacy, and data breaches effecting millions of users have already happened several…
This paper presents a timing attack on the FIDO2 (Fast IDentity Online) authentication protocol that allows attackers to link user accounts stored in vulnerable authenticators, a serious privacy concern. FIDO2 is a new standard specified by…
Industrial IoT (IIoT) aims to enhance services provided by various industries such as manufacturing and product processing. IIoT suffers from various challenges and security is one of the key challenge among those challenges. Authentication…
Static, long-lived credentials for workload authentication create untenable security risks that violate Zero-Trust principles. This paper presents a multi-cloud framework using Workload Identity Federation (WIF) and OpenID Connect (OIDC)…
The emerging Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) techniques, such as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs), move control of digital identity from conventional identity providers to individuals and lay down the…
In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of authentication protocols for Internet of Things (IoT). Specifically, we select and in-detail examine more than forty authentication protocols developed for or applied in the context of the…
Authentication in TLS is predominately carried out with X.509 digital certificates issued by certificate authorities (CA). The centralized nature of current public key infrastructures, however, comes along with severe risks, such as single…
This paper analyses the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), an emerging approach for establishing digital identity, in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). We contrast existing approaches for identity on the Internet, such as…
Recent European efforts around digital identity -- the EUDI regulation and its OpenID architecture -- aim high to provide an EU-wide authentication framework. However, its current technical and legislative architecture are based on a…
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is being realized as a promising approach to accomplish the shortcomings of current IP-address based networking. ICN models are based on naming the content to get rid of address-space scarcity, accessing…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging technologies that has grabbed the attention of researchers from academia and industry. The idea behind Internet of things is the interconnection of internet enabled things or devices to…
Many millions of users routinely use their Google, Facebook and Microsoft accounts to log in to websites supporting OAuth 2.0 and/or OpenID Connect-based single sign on. The security of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect is therefore of critical…
Password-authenticated identities, where users establish username-password pairs with individual servers and use them later on for authentication, is the most widespread user authentication method over the Internet. Although they are…
This paper presents, for the first time, a novel Decentralized IDentifier (DID) Method called Over-The-Tangle and discusses its design and working principles that leverage the IOTA Tangle as the Root-of-Trust for identity data. The results…
Single Sign-On (SSO) systems simplify login procedures by using an an Identity Provider (IdP) to issue authentication tokens which can be consumed by Service Providers (SPs). Traditionally, IdPs are modeled as trusted third parties. This is…
We leverage blockchain technology for drone node authentication in internet of drone things (IoDT). During the authentication procedure, the credentials of drone nodes are examined to remove malicious nodes from the system. In IoDT, drones…
Most OAuth service providers, such as Google and Microsoft, offer only a limited range of coarse-grained data access. As a result, third-party OAuth applications often end up accessing more user data than necessary, even if their developers…
Authentication forms the gateway to any secure system. Together with integrity, confidentiality and authorization it helps in preventing any sort of intrusions into the system. Up until a few years back password based authentication was the…
Current architectures to validate, certify, and manage identity are based on centralised, top-down approaches that rely on trusted authorities and third-party operators. We approach the problem of digital identity starting from a human…
