Information Security in IoT Devices Using Lightweight Cryptography

Abstract

Internet of Things is known as present-day technology, but it is there from a long and distinct period of history from when we have the internet which connects numerous devices which convey information with each other and does not require any human interaction. IoT systems works on the collection and interpretation of data to provide useful services, the data that is being used have worth in the modern era, the data gathered from systems is vulnerable to cyber-attacks. So, the security plays a significant part in network to preclude the unapproved access, that can make a wrong use application or data. Security is considered in all layers of IoT Framework, major from the perspective of making standards from top to bottom level. IoT nowadays is widely used and is very essential in modern world full of technologies. IoT applications are serviceable to everyone but it will be not much desired by the users if any system is unable to secure the data from the world because the data is critical, and it should not be available to everyone. Lightweight encryption is a part of traditional cryptographic algorithms which are relevant in feasibility of low resource devices in IoT.
