Abstract
Conference Title: 2019 International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences (ICCIS) Conference Start Date: 2019, April 3 Conference End Date: 2019, April 4 Conference Location: Sakaka, Saudi Arabia In the internet of things (IoT), the user authentication process is becoming more important with the growing number the services provided by IoT. Securing access to these services by the user authentication process leads to high security to prevent any attack on the IoT network. In this paper, we shall construct a lightweight local user authentication scheme for IoT using NFC technology. The approach will try to keep the private information secured in an efficient way, ensuring that only authorized users can access this information.
