The Internet of Things (IoT) has been regarded as an important technological advancement that has changed how people think about and performs their activities. It is a framework that aims to create an efficient and effective method of managing various assets. The IoT also offers a paradigm shift that will enable the treatment of both physical and virtual assets uniformly. The increasing number of devices connected to the Internet will allow users to collect and exchange large amounts of data, making better decisions and enhancing their lives. One of the most important factors that the Internet is constantly working on is the development of new connectivity methods. One of these involves the Internet of Things, a framework for exchanging information among various sensors and devices. The rapid emergence and evolution of machine-to-machine communications will bring new opportunities for various applications. Unfortunately, many challenges still need to be resolved to make this technology work properly. One of the most important factors that need to be considered is the availability of secure infrastructure. One of the most important factors that need to be considered when implementing the security features of the Internet of Things is the availability of lightweight security algorithms. These are designed to help prevent unauthorized access and manipulation of the data sent and received by various devices. To function properly, the algorithms should not require a lot of resources, such as processing power. One of the advantages of implementing lightweight security algorithms is that they can help reduce the overall overhead of the security operations of the IoT. This is especially important since large-scale deployments are expected to involve thousands or millions of devices. This paper aims to comprehensively overview the various advantages of implementing these security algorithms.
