| description | In this paper, we propose a clustering based physical-layer authentication scheme (CPAS) to overcome the drawback of traditional cipher-based authentication schemes that suffer from heavy costs and are limited by energy-constrained intelligent devices. CPAS is a novel cross-layer secure authentication approach for edge computing system with asymmetric resources. The CPAS scheme combines clustering and lightweight symmetric cipher with physical-layer channel state information to provide two-way authentication between terminals and edge devices. By taking advantage of temporal and spatial uniqueness in physical layer channel responses, the non-cryptographic physical layer authentication techniques can achieve fast authentication. The lightweight symmetric cipher initiates user authentication at the start of a session to establish the trust connection. Based on theoretical analysis, the CPAS scheme is secure and simple, but there is no trusted party, while it can also resist small integer attacks, replay attacks, and spoofing attacks. Besides, experimental results show that the proposed scheme can boost the total success rate of access authentication and decrease the data frame loss rate, without notable increase in authentication latencies. |
