Abstract EN
Communication security between IoT devices is a major concern in this area, and the blockchain has raised hopes that this concern will be addressed.
In the blockchain concept, the majority or even all network nodes check the validity and accuracy of exchanged data before accepting and recording them, whether this data is related to financial transactions or measurements of a sensor or an authentication message.
In evaluating the validity of an exchanged data, nodes must reach a consensus in order to perform a special action, in which case the opportunity to enter and record transactions and unreliable interactions with the system is significantly reduced.
Recently, in order to share and access management of IoT devices information with distributed attitude a new authentication protocol based on blockchain is proposed and it is claimed that this protocol satisfies user privacy preserving and security.
However, in this paper, we show that this protocol has security vulnerabilities against secret disclosure, replay, traceability, and Token reuse attacks with the success probability of 1 and constant complexity of also 1.
We also proposed an improved blockchain-based authentication protocol (IBCbAP) that has security properties such as secure access management and anonymity.
We implemented IBCbAP using JavaScript programming language and Ethereum local blockchain.
We also proved IBCbAP’s security both informally and formally through the Scyther tool.
Our comparisons showed that IBCbAP could provide suitable security along with reasonable cost.
