ESAU: Expeditious Swarm Remote Attestation for Pub-Sub IoT Networks with Untrusted Cloud-based Proxy Verifier
Researchers propose ESAU, a lightweight swarm remote-attestation scheme for pub-sub IoT with an untrusted cloud proxy.
A cs.CR paper presents ESAU, a cloud-assisted swarm remote-attestation scheme for publish-subscribe IoT networks that rely on an untrusted cloud proxy verifier. It addresses lightweight checks on constrained devices, unauthorized control by passive malicious administrators or compromised owner accounts, and extending attestation toward authenticated key exchange. The authors analyze the design's security properties and evaluate feasibility through implementation and simulation, citing uses such as smart grids and connected vehicles.
- Lightweight swarm remote attestation for constrained IoT devices.
- Aims to stop malicious cloud admins and hijacked owner accounts.
- Links attestation with authenticated key exchange.
- Security analysis plus implementation and simulation.

1 min read at arxiv.orgAs Internet of Things (IoT) devices collect and process data, security is essential. IoT devices often combine with other emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and fifth-generation (5G) communications, to support applications such as smart grids and internet-of-vehicles (IoV). Because IoT devices are deployed remotely, remote attestation (RA) effectively verifies each device's state.
