Efficient Multiple authentication scheme for IOTA using ZK-SNARK

Abstract

In IoT(Internet of Things) Traditional authentication methods, such as passwords or public-key cryptography, often encounter challenges related to security, efficiency, and scalability. In response, Present work proposed a streamlined alternative utilizing Zero-knowledge proofs(ZKPs), allowing users to prove their identity with minimal exposure to sensitive information. Emphasizing the need for optimization in computational resources, this approach becomes particularly valuable in the context of Internet of Things application(IOTA). Current work introduces a novel method for authentication that combines the concept of isomorphic graphs from multi-graph ZKP with ZeroKnowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (Zk-SNARKs), along with multi-threading in the IOTA ecosystem. This advancement represents a significant step forward in scalability and provides a solution to the increasing need for secure and effective authentication methods.
