Will-be-set-by-IN-TECHMultivariate Quadratic Almost Group (MQQ) was proposed in academia.Experiments performed in the FPGA and PC platforms showed that MQQ is faster than algorithms such as RSA and ECC [1,2].Algorithms involved in this study are asymmetric, but each one works with a specific encryption mode.Many studies have evaluated performance of cryptographic algorithms in WSNs, but there is no standardization in the performance analysis.As stated by Margi [3] studies on performance evaluation of cryptographic algorithms for WSNs are often quite different in terms of methodology, platform, metrics and focus of analysis, what difficult a direct comparison among the obtained results.Thus, this chapter describes a theoretical study of cryptographic such as RSA, ECC, HECC and MQQ as well as the performance analysis of these algorithms in WSN.
