A survey on lightweight-cryptography status and future challenges
Sattar B. Sadkhan, Akbal O. Salman · 2018
Cryptography is that the practice and study of hiding information. It is the science of reworking message to form them secure and resistant to attack. In cryptography, the original message is converted into other message at encryption side and converted into an original message at the receiver side. For constrained devices, normal cryptography algorithms can be too slow, too big or too energy-consuming. The term light-weight cryptography studies New algorithms to outdo this problem. Light-weight cryptography is generally defined as cryptography for resource- constrained devices, for which RFID tags and WSN are typically mentioned as examples. Light-weight encryption is a junction of two terms "Light and weight", and it is a sector of a classical cryptographic algorithm. Light-weight encryption and decryption are implemented on platforms as well as hardware and software. In this paper, present analyzing study on the common use of recent hardware H/W and software S/W implementations of symmetric as well as asymmetric ciphers.
