Cryptography algorithms play an essential role in technology for protecting against the many threats seen in the digital world. Many research techniques have been conducted to tackle IoT device security. Traditional techniques are typically identified by their high-level computational complexity of cryptographic algorithms. On the other hand, lightweight algorithms solve most security challenges when using standard Cryptographic techniques in constrained devices. This paper discusses lightweight cryptographic techniques for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and provides a complete overview of the security mechanisms ranging from lightweight cryptographic solutions to IoT devices, analyzing implementation of embedded software and hardware technologies, as well as contemporary methods for IoT device security. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Speck cryptographic algorithms implementation on IoT devices are discussed thoroughly for providing device security. Results validate that AES and SPECK are consuming less memory compared to traditional algorithms in resource constrained environment.
