Abstract: Home-based multi-sensor Internet of Things, as a typical application of Internet of Things, interconnects a variety of intelligent sensor devices and appliances to provide intelligent services to individuals in a ubiquitous way. As families become more and more intelligent, complex, and technology-dependent, there is less and less need for human intervention. Recently, many security attacks have shown that Internet home-based Internet of Things have become a vulnerable target, leading to personal privacy problems. For example, eavesdroppers can acquire the identity of specific devices or sensors through public channels, which is not secure, to infer individual public life in the home area network. Authentication is the essential portion of many secure systems processing of verifying and declaring identity. Before providing confidential information, home-based-Internet of Things service authenticates users and devices. The communication and processing capabilities of intelligent devices are limited. Therefore, in home-based Internet of Things, lightweight authentication and key agreement technology are very important to resist known attacks. This article proposes an anonymous authenticated key agreement protocol using pairing-based cryptography. The protocol proposed in this article provides lightweight computation and ensures the security of communication between home-based multi-sensor Internet of Things network and Internet network.
