AbstractInternet of Things (IoT) environments are widely employed in industrial applications including intelligent transportation systems, healthcare systems, and building energy management systems. For such environments of highly sensitive data, adapting scalable and flexible communication with efficient security is vital. Research investigated wireless Ad-hoc/mesh networking, while Attribute Based Encryption (ABE) schemes have been highly recommended for IoT. However, a combined implementation of both mesh networking and Key-Policy Attribute Based Encryption (KPABE) on resource-constrained devices has been rarely addressed. Hence, in this work, an integrated system that deploys a lightweight KPABE security built on wireless mesh networking is proposed. Implementation results show that the proposed system ensures flexibility and scalability of self-forming and cooperative mesh networking in addition to a fine-grained security access structure for IoT nodes. Moreover, the work introduces a case study of an enabled scenario at a school building for optimizing energy efficiency, in which the proposed integrated system architecture is deployed on IoT sensing and actuating devices. Therefore, the encryption attributes and access policy are well-defined, and can be adopted in relevant IoT applications. 2013 IEEE.
