Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are fundamentally changing the  way we interact and manage our cities, our infrastructure and our environment.  They are playing critical roles in making our cities smarter and environment more sustainable. Employing IoT sensing has a number of salient advantages; the ubiquitous IoT sensors provide unprecedented spatial resolution of sensing data; the always-on IoT sensing abilities can lead to high temporal sensing resolution; the IoT networks make it possible to aggregate the high quality spatial and temporal data, thus enabling one to build comprehensive, reliable and dynamic models such as digital twins for accurate and timely prediction and decision-making.

This special issue, IoT Sensing for Sustainability, aims to present the lasted research advances in IoT sensing. The topics include but are not limited to new IoT sensing paradigms and methodologies, applications, predictive models empowered by machine learning and data analytics, IoT digital twins, sensing data security, as well as new case studies.

Satellite–ground integrated networks (SGIN) are in line with 6th generation wireless network technology (6G) requirements. However, security and privacy issues are challenging with heterogeneous networks. Specifically, although 5G authentication and key agreement (AKA) protects terminal anonymity, privacy preserving authentication protocols are still important in satellite networks. Meanwhile, 6G will have a large number of nodes with low energy consumption. The balance between security and performance needs to be investigated. Furthermore, 6G networks will likely belong to different operators. How to optimize the repeated authentication during roaming between different networks is also a key issue. To address these challenges, on-demand anonymous access and novel roaming authentication protocols are presented in this paper. Ordinary nodes implement unlinkable authentication by adopting a bilinear pairing-based short group signature algorithm. When low-energy nodes achieve fast authentication by utilizing the proposed lightweight batch authentication protocol, which can protect malicious nodes from DoS attacks. An efficient cross-domain roaming authentication protocol, which allows terminals to quickly connect to different operator networks, is designed to reduce the authentication delay. The security of our scheme is verified through formal and informal security analysis. Finally, the performance analysis results show that our scheme is feasible. Full article
