Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought a revolution in the device interaction approach, but mass adoption of it presents critical issues concerning data security and privacy of the transferred information. As the number of IoT devices grows, safe data transmission guidelines are important to ward off cyberattacks and information theft. In this paper, we suggested a new secure data transmission protocol scheme of the IoT devices which is aimed at Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). ECC offers a lightweight but a very secure encryption mechanism, and thus it is a perfect match to resource-constrained IoT devices. The protocol uses the ECC to provide confidentiality, integrity, and authentication on data and efficiency, even on low-power environments. The protocol can address typical IoT security risks, including Eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, and data alteration by ensuring key exchange mechanisms, digital signatures, and message authentication codes (MAC). The suggested solution provides improved security and performance, and it has a scalable architecture of secure IoT communications. We have demonstrated that this method plays a great role in minimizing computation overhead in comparison with conventional encryption algorithms, and thus it is bound to perfectly fit into the multitude of IoT applications that need safe exchange of information.
