| Abstract |
A cyber physical system (CPS) integrates and combines physical, computational and communication functionalities to map physical processes to the cyber world. Indeed, a CPS can dynamically monitor, control and modify functional parameters of a physical system by implementing remote real-time sensing and actuation using machine-to-machine communication. Particularly, in a smart city CPS, a number of devices are deployed in hostile areas and time-varying environments to monitor environmental conditions, which rises the risk of security attacks trying to alter its normal operation. Consequently, security mechanisms should be implemented to protect the CPS and secure data exchange between its devices. This paper investigates the design of a security scheme, named zero knowledge proof chaotic authentication and key agreement, for an environmental monitoring CPS, that enables mutual authentication and key agreement between devices. The proposed scheme uses the chaotic Chebyshev polynomial map based public key encryption technique to build private and public keys while validating the devices identities using the zero knowledge proof protocol. Our designed security scheme allows scalable and dynamic distribution of different types of keys to provide authentication and confidentiality services for unicast and multicast traffics. The efficiency analysis of the designed security scheme demonstrates its resilience to many security attacks targeting the CPS. Moreover, the performance evaluation using simulation shows the achievement of devices authentication and keys distribution with an acceptable false rejection rate, a decreased communication overhead and a reduced energy consumption. |
