Abstract

The mobile cellular network provides internet connectivity for heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The cellular network consists of several towers installed at appropriate locations within a smart city. These cellular towers can be utilized for various tasks, such as e-healthcare systems, smart city surveillance, traffic monitoring, infrastructure surveillance, or sidewalk checking. Security is a primary concern in data broadcasting, particularly authentication, because the strength of a cellular network’s signal is much higher frequency than the associated one, and their frequencies can sometimes be aligned, posing a significant challenge. As a result, that requires attention, and without information authentication, such a barrier cannot be removed. So, we design a secure and efficient information authentication scheme for IoT-enabled devices to mitigate the flaws in the e-healthcare system. The proposed protocol security shall check formally using the Real-or-Random (ROR) model, simulated using ProVerif2.03, and informally using pragmatic discussion. In comparison, the performance phenomenon shall tackle by the already result available in the MIRACL cryptographic lab.
