Abstract: IoT played a major part on the worldwide network. Maintaining security along with privacy of IoT nodes are the main challenges in IoT. Most of the authors had used different technologies for authentication like username, password, OTP, RFID, schemes implemented using a single factor, multifactor parameter which are discussed in the review section. But they continue to suffer from drawbacks like its adaptability to real-time applications that threaten users' data protection. Strong authentication mechanism is required, so user can get direct access of sensor information. To achieve it, our research concentrates on a unique authentication scheme. The goal of this research is to find whether an authenticated user is travelled through HGWN and FGWN, accessed registered sensor is used through HGWN and FGWN. The security attacks and data hacking are handled by the proposed technique with Binary Search Trees. Based on results, the proposed work outperforms than existent method.
