Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoTs) has been widely applied for convenient data gathering. Therefore, the security and privacy issues related to IoT applications attract more and more attentions. Secure data transmission plays pivotal role of the security of IoT applications. However, there are still many IoT devices do not support cryptographic functions due to their constrained resources. Moreover, cryptographic key storage also becomes a practical security context problem in resource-constrained devices. In this paper, an IoT-oriented lightweight gateway system, which is named WB-GWS, is proposed by using white-box cryptography. WB-GWS is designed for the secure data transmission in typical IoT applications, and reduces the risk of key leakage in the white-box security context. The performance of WB-GWS is analyzed amongst different platforms. The experiment results support that WB-GWS can meet the security requirements of IoT applications with low-rate data transmission.
