Abstract:
Robust and practical device authentication is an essential security feature for cyber physical systems and the Internet of Things. After giving an overview on device authentication options, several proposals for advanced device authentication means are presented to increase the attack robustness of device authentication. A well-known cryptographic device authentication using a symmetric cryptographic key or a digital certificate for device authentication can be extended with additional validations to check the device identity. Ideas from advanced human user authentication means like multi-factor authentication and continuous authentication are applied to enhance device authentication.
