SNS-Based Secret Sharing Scheme for Security of Smart City Communication Systems

A smart city has a complex hierarchical communication system with various components. It must meet the requirements of fast communication, reliability, and security without compromising data. In the paper, we discuss methods and techniques for increasing the speed and reliability of the mobile ad hoc networks with a sufficient level of security. We consider combining the secret sharing schemes and residual number systems (RNS) as an efficient security mechanism for a smart city dynamic heterogeneous network. We analyze the concept of data transmission based on RNS that divides data into smaller parts and transmits them in parallel, protecting them from attacks on routes by adaptive multipath secured transmission. Proposed networks have the self-correcting properties that improve the reliability and fault tolerance of the entire system.
