“…Braille transformation, traditionally used to enable blind individuals to read and write, provides a unique opportunity to add a layer of encryption to passwords. By integrating this transformation method before generating the hash, we aim to enhance resistance against brute force, statistical, and differential attacks [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Our rigorous methodology involves first decomposing the password into blocks representing each character.…”

In this work, we propose a novel approach to enhancing the security of passwords before storing them in databases. Our method utilizes Braille transformation to encrypt the password after generating the corresponding hash. The hash is divided into multiple blocks, each representing a character treated as a transformation unit. Each character is then associated with its corresponding Braille code, which consists of 6 digits. To further enhance security, we randomly replace each occurrence of "0" in the generated string with one of the digits 7, 8, or 9. The final string, six times larger than the original hash, is then stored in the database. To evaluate our approach, we conducted several experiments and comparisons. The results demonstrate that Braille transformation is resistant to brute-force attacks, statistical attacks, and differential attacks. These results were justified using various evaluation criteria, such as execution time and memory space occupied. Braille transformation is susceptible to any modification made to the hash or the generated string, further reinforcing its security. Our Braille-based approach offers an effective solution to strengthen the security of database passwords. It provides advantages in terms of protection against different attacks and offers a robust evaluation based on relevant criteria.

“…None of these is amongst the finalists of the NIST LWC, which is the focus of our study. [28] focuses on the analysis of cryptographic areas and cryptanalysis attacks of various hash functions suitable for lightweight ciphers. They have also conducted a comparative study and presented research challenges on hardware and software implementations of those lightweight cryptography hash functions.…”

The protection of communications between Internet of Things (IoT) devices is of great concern because the information exchanged contains vital sensitive data. Malicious agents seek to exploit those data to extract secret information about the owners or the system. Power side channel attacks are of great concern on these devices because their power consumption unintentionally leaks information correlatable to the device's secret data. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of authenticated encryption with advanced data, in protecting communications with these devices. A comprehensive evaluation of the seven (out of 10) algorithm finalists of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) IoT lightweight cipher competition that do not integrate built‐in countermeasures is proposed. The study shows that, nonetheless, they still present some residual vulnerabilities to power side channel attacks (SCA). For five ciphers, an attack methodology as well as the leakage function needed to perform correlation power analysis (CPA) is proposed. The authors assert that Ascon, Sparkle, and PHOTON‐Beetle security vulnerability can generally be assessed with the security assumptions “Chosen ciphertext attack and leakage in encryption only, with nonce‐misuse resilience adversary (CCAmL1)” and “Chosen ciphertext attack and leakage in encryption only with nonce‐respecting adversary (CCAL1)”, respectively. However, the security vulnerability of GIFT‐COFB, Grain, Romulus, and TinyJambu can be evaluated more straightforwardly with publicly available leakage models and solvers. They can also be assessed simply by increasing the number of traces collected to launch the attack.

In this paper it is presented that security can be added to three RLL LDPC codes specified by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems codes without additional redundancy and if some round conditions are valid, this can be done without the necessity to change the encoding and decoding procedures. The concept for obtaining lightweight security could be of interest for space communication, for communication in IoT or other networks in which the nodes are resource constrained.
