Key authentication

Key authentication refers to the process of verifying the connection between an entity and its associated key(s). This process is essential for effective key management, including key establishment/agreement, key distribution, key usage control, and the key life cycle. By ensuring that the correct entity is linked to the correct key(s), key authentication helps to maintain the security and integrity of sensitive information.From: Security and Privacy in Internet of Things (IoTs) [2019]

The cryptographic-based authentication schemes are further divided into two parts, pre-deployed (symmetric) key authentication schemes and asymmetric authentication schemes. However, pre-deployed key authentication schemes provide the highest performance efficiency compared with asymmetric authentication schemes.

The main challenges in the key management schemes are computational complexity, storage complexity, communication complexity, and maintaining forward and backward secrecy. In this section, we discuss various key management techniques on both centralized and contributory methods. The Diffie–Hellman key exchange protocol [24] is the first public key-based key management scheme which implements the public key authentication via binding the certificate with the public key. The certificates are managed by trusted third parties but the cost of managing the certificate list is high.
