Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vibrant idea in information and communication technology. Secure communication within the networks for the Internet of Things under adversarial situations requires suitable key agreement among communicating parties towards performing encryption and authentication. IoT security requires distributed key management and lightweight authentication. One of the most popular strategies of key management is key pre-distribution. For lightweight authentication, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) based protocols are appropriate for IoT devices with limited resources because they allow for less power consumption due to smaller key sizes and faster operation. In this regard, we propose a new secureID authenticated key pre-distribution scheme (KPS) using ECC and name it as Base scheme based on secureID encryption and authentication. In our proposed combinatorial design-based Base scheme, every IoT device has a number of keys in the order of square root of the total number of IoT devices in the network. One of the key aspects of our Base scheme is that any pair of IoT devices in the entire network can interact directly, which makes system communication more efficient. We enhance our Base scheme into Base Subset scheme which significantly improving its resilience and enabling the development of the hash chain Base Subset scheme (HC (Base Subset scheme)) and bidirectional hash chain on Base Subset scheme (2HC (Base Subset scheme)). These schemes encrypt and authenticate the secure id of each device and the individual device transmits it to other devices. On receiving these packages, every recipient device verifies and decrypts them to obtain the device id of the sender. Our schemes outperform state-of-the-art proposals when implemented in a practical deployment zone.
