Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) emerged as the combination of different technologies that brought about many uses cases such as smart home, smart healthcare and smart transportation to mention few. All these IoT applications are realized wit Machine to Machine (M2M) interactions minimizing human intervention. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the technology which is essential to realize IoT applications. RFID is used for identification of objects and also used for authentication purposes. On the contrary to barcode, RFID eliminates issues like line of sight and distance. RFID tags may carry sensitive data as well. Therefore, it is essential to safeguard communications where RFID is involved. In this paper smart home IoT use case is considered for empirical study. A security framework is proposed to ensure cloud based authentication that involves both RFID and biometric. The framework is implemented to ensure end to end security and privacy in smart home application scenario. The experimental results revealed that the proposed framework performs better than the state of the art.
