A Secure and Fast Access Protocol for Collecting Terminal in Power Internet of Things based on Symmetric Cryptographic Algorithm

Abstract

The development of Power Internet of Things has brought a variety of access requirements for massive collecting terminals. Based on the characteristics of security attributes of Power Internet of Things, this paper proposes a secure access protocol based on symmetric cryptographic algorithm for the large number of collecting terminals with limited manufacturing cost, computing power and storage resources. This protocol only uses the symmetric cryptographic algorithm which has the fast computing speed and low resource consumption, and the protocol can realize two-way identity authentication between the collecting terminal and master station. At the same time, combined with the historical access mechanism, it improves the access efficiency of the collecting terminals, and realizes the safe and fast access of the collecting terminal. Finally, compared with other protocols, the proposed protocol is also effective in security and performance.
