The Internet of Things (IoT) is based on an extensive and wide range of interconnected heterogeneous units’ general applications, including healthcare systems, environmental monitoring, household automation, and business automation. This work presents an approach variant of the elliptic curve; The cryptography approach is implemented to provide more security with fewer key sizes and with protocol enhancements to perform an efficient authentication process. In the process of authenticating the device, we use the Electronic Product Code (EPC) as a key to authentication, where the overhead of giving input is removed. Mention the methods followed to meet all your performance metrics (minimum execution time; low energy consumption, and qualitative comparison). This proposed scheme (i.e., the energy consumption of 0.27 mJ, the reduction in end delay of 0.058 sec., the reduction in the computation cost, and being more resistant to attack) is compared with other recent authentication protocols. The proposed system creates a secure network to lessen the damage if there is an attack in the IoT environment. The performance evaluation results indicate that the proposed scheme has a lower energy consumption and a more resistant authentication scheme, and we observe a trade-off between security and the lightweight factor
