With the advancement of Internet Things, LoRa Alliance produced Long-Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN) Specification, allowing end-devices to transit through a gateway and join network after completing procedure. When an end-device joins LoRaWAN network, it must send request message server wait for verify such under current protocol. However, as number grows exponentially, verification messages will grow linearly with end-devices. This paper proposes authentication system multiple that complies Alliance’s specifications decreases joining latency imposed by verifying messages. The proposed is formally secure against impersonation. In addition, we assess overhead compare standard approach.
