Abstract:
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) represents a paradigm shift in manufacturing and industrial automation, connecting billions of devices to create smart factories and efficient production systems. However, the integration of IoT devices in industrial environments introduces significant security challenges due to resource constraints, heterogeneous networks, and critical operational requirements. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of security protocols specifically designed for industrial IoT environments, with particular emphasis on lightweight cryptography and authentication methods. The research examines the unique security requirements of IIoT systems, evaluates existing lightweight cryptographic solutions, and proposes authentication frameworks suitable for resource- constrained industrial devices. Through systematic analysis of current literature and security protocols, this study identifies key vulnerabilities and presents recommendations for implementing robust security measures in industrial IoT deployments while maintaining operational efficiency and system performance.
