Abstract
The process of authenticating a user or device before granting access to a system or resources is known as authentication. To put it another way, authentication entails verifying a user’s identity. A quintessential part of security is authentication. The security mechanism is incomplete without authentication. Because it enables enterprises to keep their networks safe by allowing only authenticated users to access its protected resources, authentication is crucial. With IoT’s many applications and widespread adoption, protecting IOT devices from outside threats is of paramount importance. To guarantee that linked IoT devices can be trusted to be who they say they are, strong device authentication is needed. As a result, a novel authentication algorithm based on device serialization and digital signature authentication is suggested in this paper. According to the suggested approach, a device will only be permitted access to the network i f it has successfully completed multi-factor authentication; otherwise, the authentication procedure will fail and must be repeated from scratch. Through the use of multifactor authentication, the technique additionally uses digital signatures to validate the server in addi tion to the device.
