Abstract Due to the rapid advancements in network technology, blockchain is being employed for distributed data storage. In the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, different participants manage multiple blockchains located in different trust domains, which has resulted in the extensive development of cross-domain authentication techniques. However, the emergence of many attackers equipped with quantum computers has the potential to launch quantum computing attacks against cross-domain authentication schemes based on traditional cryptography, posing a significant security threat. In response to the aforementioned challenges, our paper demonstrates a post-quantum cross-domain identity authentication scheme to negotiate the session key… More >

Abstract With the development of sensor technology and wireless communication technology, edge computing has a wider range of applications. The privacy protection of edge computing is of great significance. In the edge computing system, in order to ensure the credibility of the source of terminal data, mobile edge computing (MEC) needs to verify the signature of the terminal node on the data. During the signature process, the computing power of edge devices such as wireless terminals can easily become the bottleneck of system performance. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve efficiency through computational offloading. Therefore,… More >

Abstract As the power Internet of Things (IoT) enters the security construction stage, the massive use of perception layer devices urgently requires an identity authentication scheme that considers both security and practicality. The existing public key infrastructure (PKI)-based security authentication scheme is currently difficult to apply in many terminals in IoT. Its key distribution and management costs are high, which hinders the development of power IoT security construction. Combined Public Key (CPK) technology uses a small number of seeds to generate unlimited public keys. It is very suitable for identity authentication in the power Internet of… More >

Abstract Payment is a necessary thing in people’s daily life, and the development of the Internet makes it possible that people can shop at home. As for chip bank card, it is an important payment method that has been developed in recent years and plays a key role in remote payment. In this study, firstly, the risk features of chip bank cards were analyzed from the general remote payment scheme. Then, based on the security technology theory, a chip bank card remote payment model using elliptic curve hybrid encryption algorithm and identity authentication technology was constructed. More >
