A Survey on Lightweight Cryptography Approach For IoT Devices Security

Abstract

Lightweight cryptography (LWC) has a paramount role in the context of securing IoT diverse applications, these last originate massive amount of data due to the enormous number of connected devices. The main concern of cryptographic based solutions is to hide the plain value of the exchanged data by providing confidentiality and preserving the integrity of transmissions. IoT devices employed in these environments, make applying traditional cryptography solutions complex to be utilized. An in-depth survey on lightweight cryptography has been carried out in this paper, for this reason, an evaluation of recommended LWC algorithms proposed by a variety of well-known organisations and committees has been realized.
