A Lightweight Privacy Preservation Protocol for IOT

Due to rapid evolution of Internet of things (IOT) in terms of hardware, software and communication leads to widespread expansion across many domains and sectors. This expansion consequently results in sensitive data transfer increase for purposes of complex calculations and decision making which in turn leads to increase of data attacks and leakage which results in data privacy violation. Although, a lot of current solutions tried to fulfill data privacy via lightweight mechanisms but neither provided end to end protection nor gave a focus to metadata protection which can reveal valuable information about data it describes. This paper presents a lightweight complete data privacy protocol which manages the lifecycle of data starting from object registration till data transfer to cloud. The proposed protocol is a trusted third party free (TTP-Free) which adopts anonymization techniques, lightweight key agreement protocol, end to end encryption and message authentication code to fulfill identity and data protection which in turn fulfill complete data privacy.
