Özet

With increasing modern technology involvement in numerous consumer areas, our cities are gradually turning into smart urban areas. Wireless technologies have especially been playing a pivotal role in making cities smarter. The popular name for wireless wearable devices is the wearable Internet of Things (IoT). Wearable IoT has begun a smart textiles movement. However, wearable IoT increased wirelessly transmitted data, opening avenues for critical data capture by unauthorized listeners. The present study offers a typical wearable textile IoT device with information security. Our work proposes a novel mutual authentication protocol between IoT devices and their gateway, supported by a state-of-the-art encryption algorithm. The protocol can increase the information security of similar smart textiles. In addition to an informal security evaluation, our protocol has been tested by two formal security analysis tools. The popular Scyther and AVISPA tools verify that the data transmission between our design wearable textile and the gateway is secure. A comparison of our work with previous proposals shows the comprehensiveness of our design and its applicability to other IoT devices, as well.
