Unified Authentication Scheme for IoT Blockchain Based on PUF

Abstract

The number of global Internet of Things devices has increased rapidly and has a wide range of application markets. Access authentication methods for massive heterogeneous IoT devices are complicated, and central servers and trusted platforms cannot take effective measures against tampered devices. Analyzing the problems and challenges faced by IoT devices, this paper proposes a unified authentication scheme for IoT blockchain devices based on PUF. The PUF model is used to authenticate IoT devices, and the model parameters are decomposed into various parts and stored in each node in the blockchain. The homomorphic hash function is used to aggregate the partial authentication response values generated by the distribution in the invisible case to complete the authentication of the device information. It solves the complex and diverse problems of device authentication schemes and realizes the credibility and security of devices data sources and devices information storage stability. Finally, the functional analysis confirmed that the scheme is practical and executable.
