In the proposed approach, a secure multi-mode computation method is utilized which can reduce the time of data exchange and the memory consumption, by maintaining data security and subscribers privacy. This method can be utilized in smart metering networks based on internet of things (IoT). According to the simulated results, the proposed method incremented the amount of production capacity by 26% compared to the reference model. In addition, the average time to complete the data collection reduced by 65.5%, and the package delivery ratio of the proposed model incremented by 14.4 % in comparison with the reference model. Also, a secure mechanism based lightweight authentication was provided. These scheme needs half memory usage versus other security plan such as the EDAS algorithms. M3 ER -
