  7. Abstract:
  8. The Internet of Things is one of the most common technologies in today's world where its security is an important issue. Lightweight authentication protocols are crucial for privacy preserving in Internet of Things (IoT). IoT authentication protocols must meet security requirements and resist against cryptographic threats. On the other hand, these protocols should be implementable for devices with constrained memory and computational power in this area and should not impose a heavy computational load on such devices. In some IoT devices, such as RFIDs, resource constraints are critical, such that using standard hash functions is not practical. In this applications, security requirements is provided using ultra-lightweight authentication protocols based on bit-wise operations. In this thesis we have proposed a lightweight authentication protocol for wireless sensor networks and an ultra-lightweight authentication protocol for RFID devices. In most previous authentication protocols a secret key is established between the authorized entities. However, in the proposed protocols the user or the server has access the required data, collected by the sensor or the tag, in the same authentication phase that provides data confidentiality and data integrity. The proposed authentication protocols are suitable for the target applications, because of using lightweight and ultra-lightweight operations and functions. On the other hand, these protocols provide security requirements, while resist against most common attacks, such as replay attacks, impersonation attacks and modification attacks
