On the Feasibility of Attribute-Based Encryption on Internet of Things Devices
This addresses the problem of secure management for IoT devices, but it is incremental as it focuses on feasibility rather than new methods.
The paper investigated the feasibility of implementing Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) on IoT devices, concluding it is feasible based on tests on platforms like Intel Galileo Gen 2 and Raspberry Pi.
Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) could be an effective cryptographic tool for the secure management of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, but its feasibility in the IoT has been under-investigated thus far. This article explores such feasibility for well-known IoT platforms, namely, Intel Galileo Gen 2, Intel Edison, Raspberry Pi 1 Model B, and Raspberry Pi Zero, and concludes that adopting ABE in the IoT is indeed feasible.
