Authentication of IOT Device Network Address with Implementation in Virtual Machine

Abstract

The IOT is booming in this era, to make user convenience much better than before. The IOT devices involved for communication can be vulnerable by the intruder. During data transmission for the IOT devices, it must be authenticated with suitable methodology. The hackers spoof the address and pretend to be the actual communicator. The other party trust this spoofed address is the authorized person. Hence, this can be processed with the appropriate Cryptography algorithms. The proposed approach is the fusion of AES and ECDSA with implementation of Python code in Ubuntu Linux. The established code takes the Network Address (MAC – Media Access Control) of running host directly through OS, such that the Network address is encrypted. The verification of the Network address is demonstrated with Windows and Ubuntu Virtual Machine. Therefore, the developed code must be installed in IOT device to accomplish secure data transmission. The motto of this paper is to enlighten the security for Network address of IOT devices.
