Towards secured cloud-based robotic services

摘要

Cloud Robotics is one of the most promising applications in the robotics world where cloud serves as an on-demand resource provider for the resource constrained robots. Cloud Robotics allows the robots to use the cloud for massive storage, offloading heavy computational tasks, data sharing among multiple robots, and allows parallel processing of high voluminous data. Despite the hype achieved by cloud robotics, the growth of cloud robotics is still below expectations due to the risks associated with security and privacy. So, our motivation is to provide security for cloud-based robotic services. In this paper we proposed a framework that provides authentication and key agreement using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for accessing the robotic services hosted in the cloud. Moreover, we have also done the cryptanalysis of the proposed scheme. From security analysis view, it is evident that our proposed scheme is robust against various security attacks.
