隨著物聯網的快速發展，目前在家庭、醫院以及工廠等環境皆有可能看見被大量部署的感測裝置，藉由這些感測裝置以蒐集環境中的各種數據，我們能夠分析這些數據作後續利用。然而，這些大量部署於環境中且具有連線能力的感測裝置，已經成為有心人士的攻擊目標，雖然感測裝置製造商會定期發布新版韌體以修補漏洞，但若感測裝置之管理者疏於更新，則仍可能造成讓攻擊者造成危害。

然而，目前感測裝置之韌體更新機制未臻完善，因此我們必須確保在安裝新版本韌體前，以可靠方法驗證韌體完整性，以及韌體是否確實由其製造商所提供。否則，一旦感測裝置安裝了由攻擊者所提供的惡意韌體，可能會導致感測裝置功能停擺，甚至是使得感測裝置成為攻擊者發動後續網路攻擊的跳板。

綜合上述，本論文發展了一套基於訊息佇列遙測傳輸(Message Queuing Telemetry Transport, MQTT)協定架構之安全物聯網韌體更新機制，以確保感測裝置製造商提供的新版韌體能夠有效率地推送至目標型號的感測裝置。另外，在協定中利用橢圓曲線迪菲-赫爾曼金鑰交換(Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, ECDH)、數位簽章(Digital Signature)及金鑰雜湊訊息鑑別碼(Keyed-hash Message Authentication Code, HMAC)等方法，以完成裝置對裝置的身分鑑別。若韌體在推送的過程中遭人竄改，或是韌體的發布者並非原感測裝置製造商，透過本論文設計的協定皆可檢驗出來，因此確保了攻擊者所提供的惡意韌體不會被安裝於感測裝置之上。最後，本論文亦對所設計的協定進行安全性分析，驗證協定可抵擋常見的竊聽攻擊、中間人攻擊、重送攻擊、偽冒攻擊等常見手法。

With the rapid advancements in Internet of Things (IoT), there are a lot of sensors deployed in each environment such as home, hospitals, and factories. By using these sensors, we can collect different kinds of data from the environment and analyze it later. However, these sensors which have functionality to connect Internet have become attacked targets by malicious hacker. Although the manufacturers release new version of firmware to resolve vulnerability for specific sensors, the administrator of sensors may ignore the importance of firmware update. As a result, sensors are still under threat of attacks.

Nevertheless, the firmware update mechanism for sensors is not perfect nowadays. We must assure that a reliable method to verify the integrity and provider of firmware. Otherwise, if sensors install malicious firmware, they will be out of order or controlled by attackers to launch attacks in the future.

To sum up, this thesis designs a secure IoT firmware update mechanism based on Message Queuing Telemetry Transport(MQTT) protocol. It assures that new version of firmware provided by manufacturers can be pushed to corresponding sensors efficiently. We use Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange(ECDH), Digital Signature, and Keyed-hash Message Authentication Code(HMAC) algorithms in the protocol to accomplish machine-to-machine authentication. If firmware is modified or provided by attackers, our proposed protocol will detect it. Consequently, we promise that malicious firmware won’t be installed on sensors. Finally, we adopt a security analysis for our protocol, and confirm that our proposed protocol can defend common attacks such as Eavesdropping Attack, Man-in-the-middle Attack, Replay Attack, and Impersonation Attack.
