With the increasing demand for a digital world, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is growing rapidly across various industries. In manufacturing, particularly in Industry 4.0, the IIoT assumes a vital role. It encompasses many devices such as sensing devices, application servers, users, and authentication servers within workshop settings. The security of the IIoT is a critical issue due to wireless networks' open and dynamic nature. Therefore, designing secure protocols among those devices is an essential aspect of IIoT security functionality and poses a significant challenge to the IIoT systems. In this paper, we propose a lightweight anonymous authentication protocol to preserve privacy for IIoT users, enabling secure IIoT communication. The protocol has been validated to demonstrate its comprehensive ability to overcome various vulnerabilities and prevent malicious attacks. Finally, the performance evaluation confirms that the proposed protocol is more effective and efficient than the existing alternatives.
随着对数字世界需求的不断增加，工业物联网（IIoT）正在各个行业迅速发展。在制造业中，特别是在工业4.0领域，工业物联网发挥着至关重要的作用。它涵盖了车间环境中的许多设备，如传感设备、应用服务器、用户和认证服务器。由于无线网络的开放性和动态性，工业物联网的安全是一个关键问题。因此，在这些设备之间设计安全协议是工业物联网安全功能的一个重要方面，对工业物联网系统构成了重大挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一种轻量级匿名认证协议，以保护工业物联网用户的隐私，实现安全的工业物联网通信。该协议已经经过验证，以证明其克服各种漏洞和防止恶意攻击的综合能力。最后，性能评估证实，所提出的协议比现有替代方案更有效、更高效。
