TL;DR: A lightweight authentication mechanism, based only on hash and XOR operations, for M2M communications in IIoT environment is proposed, characterized by low computational cost, communication, and storage overhead, while achieving mutual authentication, session key agreement, device’s identity confidentiality, and resistance against the following attacks.

TL;DR: The proposed HMAC scheme makes use of three types of homomorphic tags which are appended to the end of the coded packet, which is more efficient compared to other competitive tag pollution immune schemes in terms of complexity, communication overhead and key storage overhead.

TL;DR: An efficient TLS-based authentication mechanism, which is resistant against MITM in web applications is proposed, which will help secure data communications across the partners in the Industry 4.0 Supply Chain.

TL;DR: This paper presents a new homomorphic MAC-based scheme, called Dual-Homomorphic MAC (Dual-HMAC), for network coding-enabled wireless sensor networks that makes use of two types of tags to provide resistance against data pollution attacks and partially tag pollution attacks.

TL;DR: This letter proposes an efficient null space-based homomorphic message authentication code scheme providing resistance against tag pollution attacks in random linear network coding, where these attacks constitute a severe security threat.
