Web-based management platform for secure key redistribution in IoT networks

Abstract

Managing security keys for large, dynamic Internet of Things (IoT) networks is a significant challenge, often leading to security gaps and high operational costs. To address this, this project involved the design and implementation of a centralized webbased platform to simplify and automate this complex process. The platform is built upon a lightweight cryptographic method known as the Efficient Vectors-Based Key Management Scheme (EVKMS), which is specifically designed for resource-constrained devices. The system automates the entire security lifecycle of devices, including their addition, removal, and key updates, through a robust, task-based orchestration system managed by a modern backend server. A key contribution is the implementation of a comprehensive, immutable audit log that automatically records every administrative action, ensuring full traceability and accountability. The platform’s effectiveness and its workflows were validated in a high-fidelity simulation environment that mimics realworld network communications. Ultimately, this work demonstrates that advanced security protocols can be successfully translated into practical, scalable, and userfriendly management tools for securing modern IoT deployments.
