| Abstract | The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology leads to significant growth in the development of smart urban regions. IoT connects the different infrastructures and municipal asses via wireless communications. The IoT nodes are installed mainly for data sensing and forwarding to the controller or actuators for remote monitoring by considering various smart city applications. Nodes have constrained in terms of processing and battery capabilities. Designing the routing for such networks is challenging considering the requirements of security, efficiency, and scalability. Compared to existing Internet Protocol (IP)-based routing solutions, Named Data Networking (NDN) becomes beneficial to IoT-empowered smart city applications. The NDN is an emerging technique with inherent features of stateful forwarding with in-built additional security benefits. But yet the holistic routing protocol for NDN-IoT is a research problem related to nodes authentication and reliable data forwarding. We propose a Node Authentication and Trust-aware Secure Routing (NATSR) protocol for NDN-IoT. For node authentication, we design lightweight Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) using Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). NATSR authenticate each before participating in a stateful forwarding process to ensure data security. After authenticating all the nodes, reliable relay selection and data forwarding is another challenging problem of NDN-IoT networks. To end this, we designed the trust-aware mechanism for the selection of forwarding relays and stateful data forwarding to ensure the guaranteed data transmission and Quality of Service (QoS) performances. We implement and evaluate the different protocols using the NS3 tool. The simulation results of the proposed NATSR protocol improved the performances compared to state-of-art NDN-based routing methods. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. |
