In recent years, a new generation of the Internet Things (IoT 2.0) is emerging, based on artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, machine learning, and constant consolidation pre-existing systems subsystems into larger systems. this work, we construct examine proof-of-concept prototype such system systems, which consists heterogeneous commercial off-the-shelf components, utilises diverse communication protocols. We recognise inherent need for lightweight security in context, address it by employing low-cost state-of-the-art solution. Our solution novel hardware software co-engineering paradigm, utilising well-known software-based cryptographic algorithms, order to maximise potential primitive (a Physical Unclonable Function) that used as anchor. The performance proposed evaluated, proving its suitability even real-time applications. Additionally, Dolev-Yao attacker model considered assess resilience our towards attacks against confidentiality, integrity, availability examined way, confirmed able emerging challenges oncoming era
