Evaluating Secured Routing Scheme for Mobile Systems in the Internet of Things (IoT) Environment

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) environment presents a unique challenge in the area of secure routing for mobile systems. Unsecured routing can lead to the breach of sensitive data and compromise the overall security of an IoT network. As the IoT network is ever increasing and becoming more complex, the need for an effective and secure routing scheme is becoming more urgent. One type of secure routing scheme for mobile systems in an IoT network is the use of a two-hop approach. This approach requires the device to establish a secure link with a base station and then use the certified secure link to perform two hops to the goal node. This approach ensures that the nodes within the network are only able to access devices that they have been authorized to do so. The two-hop approach also provides an additional layer of security, as the device is able to verify the identity of each node that they hop to before granting them access to the data they seek. This approach also provides scalability for the routing protocol, as the protocol can adapt well for different topologies and network sizes. This makes it suitable for a wide range of IoT devices, from smart phones and wearable’s to consumer appliances and industrial machines. Additionally, the two-hop approach can help to increase latency and reduce power consumption of the devices in the network. The secure two hop routing protocol is an effective solution for IoT networks and provides a strong layer of security without sacrificing scalability or performance. By using this secure routing protocol, IoT networks can remain safe and secure when sending and receiving data to and from mobile devices.
