When the use of smart devices and networks becomes common, the Internet of Things (IoT) field allows the direct connection of physical objects to the Internet using microcontrollers. The security and distributed aspects are considered important factors to protect and manage connected objects from malicious people and/or software. Furthermore, the connected objects can be installed in a hostile environment, where they are highly dynamic, prone to faults, and typically deployed in remote and harsh conditions, which leads to implementing the management of distributed behaviors to maintain the performance of the network and to provide an efficient autonomous system.

Therefore, IoT generates important questions and introduces new challenges for security. In fact, security is a major concern when networks are deployed on a large scale. Therefore, looking for adequate security solutions is necessary to ensure that smart devices capture and share information with appropriate security measures.

This work aims to propose and evaluate the standardized, secure schemes for key exchange protocols in modern Internet of Things architectures consisting of objects (sensor nodes), cloud nodes, smartphones, and end-users. Moreover, to implement/integrate of asymmetric security solutions based on Internet Key Exchange (IKE), they will be evaluated in simulation or a scenario on real networking devices.
