SF-LAP: Secure M2M Communication in IIoT with a Single-Factor Lightweight Authentication Protocol

Machine-to-machine communication allows smart devices like sensors, actuators, networks, gateways, and other controllers to communicate with one another. The industrial Internet of things (IIoT) has become a vital component. Many are connected perform task automatically in machine-to-machine communication, but they not properly secured, allowing an adversary compromise them against variety attacks due system vulnerabilities. Recently, secure lightweight authentication protocol (SLAP) was proposed by Panda et al. They asserted that every known attack could happen the IIoT is deterred their suggested protocol. In this study, we prove SLAP vulnerable desynchronization, impersonation, replay, eavesdropping attacks. To prevent these enhance protocol, need implement mechanism ensures security communication. This paper M2M Communication single-factor (SF-LAP). Single-factor simple way communicate. It uses less power overhead while providing for conversation. (M2M) scenario, exclusive-OR operation hashing function ensure between sensor controller. preshared key timestamp technique protect safeguard connection desynchronization We used Burrows Abadi Needham (BAN) Gong, Needham, Yahalom (GNY) logic, automated validation protocols applications (AVISPA) tool formal verification analysis as informal make sure secure. Analysis shows SF-LAP consumes least computing more because it prevents all modification attacks, tracing man-in-the-middle, replay
