The Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables numerous things with different processing power and storage capacity to communicate and share data with each other. Considering the constrained devices of the IoT network in terms of processing and storage, designing a lightweight authentication scheme is quite important. So in this paper, we propose a lightweight authentication scheme based on Chebyshev Chaotic Maps. In the proposed scheme we apply a hierarchical structure to define different access controls for various entities. We then provide a formal analysis via the BAN logic to show the security of our scheme. Moreover, we compare our proposed scheme with previous ones in terms of... 

One of the organizations’ main concerns is to protect sensitive data in database systems, especially the ones outsourced to untrusted service providers. An effective solution for this issue is to employ database encryption methods. Among different encryption approaches, Bucket-based method has the advantage of balancing security and performance of database operations. However, generating false-positive results in executing queries is the main drawback of this method. On the other hand, multi-join queries are one of the most critical operations executed on these stored sensitive data. Hence, acceptable processing and response time in executing multi-join queries is required. In this paper, we...

Different attacks on routing protocols in ad hoc networks occur that one of the most dangerous types is called wormhole attack. This attack happens with the assistance of at least two or more malicious nodes. In this attack nodes create a private tunnel which if a packet comes to one of them, it will be guided to other pair of these malicious nodes by this tunnel and that node broadcasts it into network. This action provides a short connection in the network that is controlled by these malicious nodes. Hence they control all Packets that come to them and threaten the security of data within packets or delete them. Totally, what a wormhole does is an incorrect understanding of network...

Secure routing is one of the most important topics in the wireless MANETs networks. MANETs networks don't have a central infrastructure for the management of routing in the networks. Each node independently routes and sends packets, so many attacks such as forging, modifying, and denial of service (DoS), Occur in these networks. In this paper, we present the new protocol, SEAODV; Secure Efficient Ad-hoc on Demand Routing Protocol for MANETs networks. SEAODV is based on the AODV algorithm and in comparison with existing secure AODV protocols such as SAODV, ARAN and SEAR have improved security and performances. SEAODV uses HEAP authentication Scheme with symmetric cryptography and one-way hash...
