Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Lightweight and Efficient Authentication and Key Distribution Scheme for Cloud-Assisted IoT for Telemedicine

Medical Internet of Things (IoT) systems are crucial in monitoring the health status of patients. Recently, telemedicine services that manage patients remotely by receiving real-time health information from IoT devices attached to or carried by them have experienced significant growth. A primary concern in medical IoT services is ensuring the security of transmitted information and protecting patient privacy. To address these challenges, various authentication schemes have been proposed. We analyze the authentication scheme by Wang et al. and identified several limitations. Specifically, an attacker can exploit information stored in an IoT device to generate an illegitimate session key. Additionally, despite using a cloud center, the scheme lacks efficiency. To overcome these limitations, we propose an authentication and key distribution scheme that incorporates a physically unclonable function (PUF) and public-key computation. To enhance efficiency, computationally intensive public-key operations are performed exclusively in the cloud center. Furthermore, our scheme addresses privacy concerns by employing a temporary ID for IoT devices used to identify patients. We validate the security of our approach using the formal security analysis tool ProVerif. Full article

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the technical characteristics of advanced versatile materials used in chipless radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and antennas. The focus is on materials that are used as radiators and substrates. Crucial aspects include flexibility, weight, size, gain, environmental sustainability, efficiency, fabrication time and type, and cost. A comprehensive set of tables are presented that summarize and compare material properties. The materials include flexible high-tech ink substances, graphene, and liquid crystals, as well as metamaterials which possess properties that allow for an increased bandwidth. Printing techniques are discussed for high-performance high-resolution fabricated tags. This paper contributes by systematically comparing emerging materials for chipless RFID tags, highlighting their impact on performance and sustainability. It also provides practical guidance for material selection and fabrication techniques to enable next-generation wireless applications. It presents a broad understanding of various materials and their use. The paper provides direction for the deployment and utilization of inexpensive passive chipless RFID tags in future intelligent wireless networks. The advancement of chipless RFID is largely driven by the development of innovative materials, especially in the realm of advanced materials and smart materials, which enable the creation of more cost-effective, flexible, and scalable RFID systems.
