2021

In the past decade, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged and has been of great importance in the digital world arousing the interest of the scientific community. The requirements of new small intelligent devices brought numerous security and privacy concerns. In order to secure the exchanged data through the IoT, integrity and authentication protocols are required and are usually constructed under hash functions. We notice that the most conventional cryptographic standards are not suitable for multiple platforms hardware/software. The expressed need is to construct lightweight functions and algorithms suitable for constrained environments including small devices. In this context, we propose a review of the research progress on IoT architecture. Further, we present and compare some selected lightweight cryptographic algorithms regarding security, performance, and resource requirements. The main goal of the present paper is to highlight the need to provide security systems for IoT applications through lightweight cryptographic mechanisms.

Highly constrained devices that are interconnected and interact to complete a task are being used in a diverse range of new fields. The Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, distributed control systems, vehicular systems, wireless sensor networks, tele-medicine, and the smart grid are a few examples of these fields. In any of these contexts, security and privacy might be essential aspects. Research on secure communication in Internet of Things (IoT) networks is a highly contested topic. One method for ensuring secure data transmission is cryptography.

The Internet of things offers a promising future for all stakeholders in technology; from researchers to consumers. It comprises a network of entities i.e. everyday objects; capable of sensing, processing, storing data and communicating with other entities. These entities or “things” can be connected to the internet and monitored or controlled through a service on another module like a mobile device or computer application. This model of ubiquitous computing presents a great challenge in the form of maintaining security i.e. confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation of data as majority of the devices run on limited resources. Our paper examines the cryptographic solutions that have so far been developed, presents their strengths and weaknesses against each other and lays out some research gaps. We also present some notable institutions and groups that are researching and developing international standards in this field. The authors goal is that this paper is usa...

Secure lightweight cryptosystem for IoT and pervasive computing

Scientific Reports

Large volumes of sensitive data are being transferred among devices as the Internet of Things (IoT) grows in popularity. As a result, security measures must be implemented to ensure that unauthorized parties do not obtain access to the data. It is well acknowledged that IoT devices have restricted resources, such as limited battery life, memory, and hence reaction time. Classical encryption approaches and methods become inefficient for IoT devices due to memory limits.

Recent Advances and Trends in Lightweight Cryptography for IoT Security

2020 16th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM), 2020

Lightweight cryptography is a novel diversion from conventional cryptography to minimise its high level of resource requirements, thus it would impeccably fit in the internet-ofthings (IoT) environment. The IoT platform is constrained in terms of physical size, internal capacity, other storage allocations like RAM/ROM and data rates. The devices are often battery powered, hence maintenance of the charged energy at least for a few years is essential. However, provision of sufficient security is challenging because the existing cryptographic methods are too heavy to adopt in the IoT. Consequently, an interest arose in the recent past to construct new cryptographic algorithms in a lightweight scale, but the attempts are still struggling to gain robustness against improved IoT threats and hazards. There exists a lack of literature studies to offer overall and upto-date knowledge on lightweight cryptography. Therefore, this effort is to bridge the areas in the subject by summarising the content we explored during our complete survey recently. This work contains the development of lightweight cryptographic algorithms, its current advancements and futuristic enhancements. In contrast, this covers the history, parametric limitations of the invented methods, research progresses of cryptology as well as cryptanalysis.

Electronics

We are at the beginning of the age of the Internet of things. Soon, we will be surrounded by smart homes, cities, and infrastructure. To achieve this vision, millions of devices will have to be able to communicate with each other. The demands for communication channels will increase significantly. An increasing amount of data will be transmitted with a requirement of minimal delay. The capacities of transmission systems can be quickly depleted. Building new communication channels is very time consuming but also financially demanding. To maximize existing infrastructure, we should pay attention today to the issue of transmitted data. One of the ways is to focus attention on reducing the volume of transmitted data. In this paper, we present a method of reducing the volume of data transmission between a server and an IoT device, focusing on the bandwidth, transmission security, and system resources of the IoT device.
