Abstract:
The growing number of connected devices and massive data in the Internet of Things (IoT) cause information to encounter different types of attacks. One solution to the security problem of computationally intensive traditional cryptographic algorithms for IoT environments is stronger lightweight cryptography. This paper evaluates the security performance of reconfigurable lightweight block ciphers featuring round order and internal parameter randomization. We evaluate these lightweight block ciphers and compare their performance with that of conventional lightweight block ciphers in terms of execution time, energy consumption, and throughput. The simulation results of reconfigured-based lightweight block ciphers show significant improvement in security performance with minor and negligible changes in energy-throughput performances.
