Résumé

Some existing methods for authentication of IoT nodes are based on blockchain technology which has limitations that must be taken into account. In this paper, our contribution consists in proposing a new authentication protocol, named bisAUTH, for IoT objects inspired on certain characteristics of the blockchain technology. Our main objective is to propose a mechanism allowing neighboring IoT nodes of a network to authenticate in a decentralized and secure way. Evaluation of our proposed protocol against several criteria, its resistance to various attacks and its comparison with recent protocols, show that it brings significant improvements compared to the existing ones.
