Abstract
Upcoming smart scenarios enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) envision smart objects that provide services that can adapt to user behavior or be managed to achieve greater productivity. In such environments, smart things are inexpensive and, therefore, constrained devices. However, they are also critical components because of the importance of the information that they provide. Given this, strong security is a requirement, but not all security mechanisms in general and access control models in particular are feasible. In this paper, we present the feasibility assessment of an access control model that utilizes a hybrid architecture and a policy language that provides dynamic fine-grained policy enforcement in the sensors, which requires an efficient message exchange protocol called Hidra. This experimental performance assessment includes a prototype implementation, a performance evaluation model, the measurements and related discussions, which demonstrate the feasibility and adequacy of the analyzed access control model.
Highlights
The Internet of Things (IoT) concept embraces an interconnected network of things, the smarter the better, contributing to a higher awareness, enhanced decision making, and more adaptive behavior of systems supporting any business process, integrating pervasive and ubiquitous information and communication technologies
We propose the experimental feasibility assessment of an innovative approach proposing an optimized access control model based on an expressive policy language enabling tight enforcement in constrained device sensors (CDSs), which is fully specified in [7]
The experimental performance metric model used to conduct the evaluation of the impact of the reviewed access control model focuses on three critical parameters: (1) the response time of the access control model to establish an authorized E2E secure session; (2) the energy cost of this model for the protected CDS running on finite battery resources; and (3) the model’s impact on the local storage on the CDS and memory footprint
Summary
The Internet of Things (IoT) concept embraces an interconnected network of things, the smarter the better, contributing to a higher awareness, enhanced decision making, and more adaptive behavior of systems supporting any business process, integrating pervasive and ubiquitous information and communication technologies. Sensors 2018, 18, 575 feasible E2E access control approaches do not implement an expressive and fine-grained and tight security policy enforcement [5]. We propose the experimental feasibility assessment of an innovative approach proposing an optimized access control model based on an expressive policy language enabling tight enforcement in CDSs, which is fully specified in [7]. The experimental performance analysis, focusing on three key performance indicators, i.e., the response time, the power consumption and the memory footprint, provides remarkable results Based on these measurements, the performance evaluation of this proposal demonstrates the feasibility of this analyzed access control model for resource-constrained sensors.
