Cryptanalysis of Internet of Things (IoT) Wireless Technology

Abstract

In the given paper, we discuss the lattice-based open source public-key NTRU cryptosystem that can be used in IoT (Internet of Things). IoT spans users' personal sensitive information and many crucial aspects of person's private life and therefore IoT requires a special protection. IoT security involves the network security and the devices security they are connected to. Cryptography technologies are the best solution to withstand communication attacks. NTRU can implement the NTRUEncrypt public key encryption algorithm capable of withstanding the attacks from the quantum computers. Therefore, NTRU is significantly faster than the other public-key cryptosystems such as RSA or ECC, allowing long-term cryptanalysis. NTRU can use one-off keys making possible to change keys in a few seconds what makes difficult for an attacker to crack the encryption trying to obtain more than thousands of keys for doing that.
