Abstract
This paper proposes a novel, multifaceted approach to enhance security and efficiency in Machine-Type Communication (MTC) that addresses limitations of the Adaptive Hierarchical Group-based Mutual Authentication and Key Agreement (AHGMAKA) protocol. AHGMAKA, designed for securing hierarchical groups of resource-constrained devices in MTC networks, can suffer from high overhead. Our approach integrates advancements in cryptographic techniques (optimized AMAC and lightweight encryption), optimization algorithms (dynamic grouping and lightweight group management protocol), and adaptive network management strategies. Exclamation The optimized AMAC reduces key length and leverages hardware acceleration, while lightweight encryption methods prioritize efficiency. Performance analysis demonstrates significant improvements: execution time reduced by 58.33%-63.79% and energy consumption reduced by 58.33%-64.41%. exclamation However, limitations like the security-efficiency trade-off and legacy device constraints are acknowledged. Future work explores machine learning-based group management, post-quantum cryptography adoption, hardware-assisted acceleration, and standardization efforts. Exclamation This research paves the way for secure and efficient MTC communication in the evolving Internet of Things landscape.
