A Performance Analysis of Lightweight Cryptography Algorithm for Data Privacy in IoT Devices

Abstract

With the growth of IoT technology, there stands out two key features in the device field, the explosive increase in sensor devices and the emergence of services specific to lightweight devices such as the Internet of small Things. In order to provide services through such lightweight devices, a secure connection must be given and lightweight encryption techniques are required to protect privacy data. In this paper, we present the result of comparing and analyzing the encryption performance of one of the most popular lightweight encryption algorithms on the open hardware platform and on the commercial hardware platform designed for lightweight IoT devices. The result of this paper can be used as a performance reference for developing and implementing cryptography algorithms in lightweight devices.
