Advanced Protection Scheme For Information Monitoring in Internet of Things Environment

Abstract In the recent years, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are growing to make great progress for the nuclear energy applications. The protection of their sensitive information has become an important challenge in implementing secure application services. These services should meet the major security attributes including confidentiality, availability, and integrity. This paper introduces a security scheme for the transmitted sensitive information and secure monitoring of the critical radiation levels at the nuclear facilities. It evaluated through integrating the cryptography and steganography techniques with cloud computing services. The cryptography techniques based on Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest, Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithms. The scheme uses the extracted cryptography keys from authenticated biometric attributes. The proposed scheme provides a low computational time suitable for fast responding in the emergencies. It allows securing access for the encrypted sensitive measurements, files, and images with high data integrity and confidentiality. Furthermore, it hides the confidential sensitive information with great capacity and imperceptibility through the transmitted carrier image. The security performance analysis ensures the robustness of introducing scheme against various attacks through authentication, encryption, and information hiding techniques. It resists the serious attacks, including the man in the middle, noise, and Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks.
