A Security Integrated Attestation Scheme for Embedded Devices

Abstract

With the development of the Internet of Things, embedded devices have become increasingly frequent in people's daily use. However, with the influx of a huge amount of heterogeneous embedded devices, its security has become an important issue. To face with such problems, remote attestation is undoubtedly a suitable security technology. Nevertheless, traditional remote attestation is limited to verifying the performance of devices as large and heterogeneous devices enter daily life. Therefore, this paper proposes a many-to-one swarm attestation and recovery scheme. Besides, the reputation mechanism and Merkel tree measurement method are introduced to reduce the attestation and recovery time of the scheme, and greatly reducing the energy consumption.
