• Abstract: With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, ensuring secure communications has become imperative. Due to their low cost and embedded nature, many of these devices operate with computational and energy constraints, neglecting the potential security vulnerabilities that they may bring. This work-in-progress is focused on designing secure communication among remote servers and embedded IoT devices to balance security robustness and energy efficiency. The proposed approach uses lightweight cryptography, optimizing device performance and security without overburdening their limited resources. Our architecture stands out for integrating Edge servers and a central Name Server, allowing secure and decentralized authentication and efficient connection transitions between different Edge servers. This architecture enhances the scalability of the IoT network and reduces the load on each server, distributing the responsibility for authentication and key management.

  IoT application providers increasingly use MicroService Architecture (MSA) to develop applications that convert IoT data into valuable information. The proposed framework contains a "control plane" to intelligently and dynamically utilise and configure cloud-native (i.e., container orchestrators and service mesh) technologies to enforce security policies. We implement a prototype of the proposed framework using open-source cloud-native technologies such as Docker, Istio, and Open Policy Agent to validate the framework.

  Negligence on the security of infotainment data communication in IoV networks can unintentionally open an easy access point for social engineering attacks. In particular, we first classify data communication in the IoV network, examine the security focus of each data communication, and then develop a differentiated security architecture to provide security protection on a file-to-file basis.
