Abstract
The proliferation and popularity of smart
autonomous systems necessitates the development
of methods and models for ensuring the effective
identification of their owners and controllers. The aim
of this paper is to critically discuss the responsibility of
Things and their impact on human affairs. This starts
with an in-depth analysis of IoT Characteristics such
as Autonomy, Ubiquity and Pervasiveness. We argue
that Things governed by a controller should have an
identifiable relationship between the two parties and
that authentication and non-repudiation are essential
characteristics in all IoT scenarios which require
trustworthy communications. However, resources can
be a problem, for instance, many Things are designed
to perform in low-powered hardware. Hence, we also
propose a protocol to demonstrate how we can achieve the
authenticity of participating Things in a connectionless
and resource-constrained environment
