Abstract:

Internet of Things (IoT) will enable intelligent devices to interact with each other using existing Internet infrastructure to assist everyday activities of our life. In such applications accessing the devices securely and efficiently is an important function. In an IoT application there can be several devices involved and are accessed by many users with different privileges. In this paper we propose a public key cryptography that uses a combined key to access a particular set of devices by a particular user. The novelty is that one can combine any set of secret keys and make them as compact as a single, but encompassing the power of all the keys being combined.
