Block cipher algorithms are crucial for securing applications on resource-constrained devices. This paper introduces the modified light encryption device (MLED) cipher-decipher architecture, specifically designed to accommodate both 64-bit and 128-bit key sizes while maintaining a consistent 64-bit block and data size. MLED comprises 8-step and 12-step processes for MLED-64 and MLED-128 modules, respectively. Each stage involves a four-round operation followed by an add-round key operation. The add constant module (ACM) and mixed column modules (MCMs) within the round operation have been optimized for improved latency and throughput. Performance analysis reveals that MLED-64/128 requires less than 1% of the available slices and operates at 125 MHz on the Artix-7 FPGA. It achieves delays of 7.5 and 12.5 clock cycles for MLED-64 and MLED-128, respectively, translating to throughputs of 1366.5 Mbps and 819.89 Mbps. Additionally, MLED-64/128 exhibits hardware efficiencies of 2.373 and 0.986 Mbps/slice, respectively. Comparative evaluations with existing LED and other block ciphers (BCs) demonstrate that MLED-64/128 achieves significant improvements in latency, throughput, and efficiency, making it a compelling choice for securing resource-constrained IoT applications.

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a significant trend, where integrating IP, data, and wireless technologies onto a single network yields substantial advantages that are both essential and appealing. However, the amalgamation of these entities introduces novel susceptibilities and opportunities for infiltrating IoT networks, thereby necessitating the perpetual advancement of integrated security methodologies. This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) method, based on the Miller-Rabin technique, as a stream key generator with five distinct hashing functions to attain robust digital signatures. The RSA encryption method underwent a comprehensive battery of tests to assess its validity, and its encryption efficacy was evaluated through mathematical analysis. This research examines the assessment of digital signatures by utilizing five distinct hash functions in conjunction with RSA keys. Each signature file was assessed based on four tests: entropy, floating frequency, autocorrelation, and histogram analysis. The tests were conducted on a document with a size of 256 bytes. In addition, nine hash algorithms were utilized, namely SHA224,

“…From Table IV, you can obviously see that this protocol communication cost is the best compared to the other protocols. In terms of computation costs, the following notations are used: T EPM denotes the time cost of one point multiplication computation on ECC, T h denotes the time cost of one hash function computation and T AES denotes the time cost of one AES encryption/decryption operation [37]. Note that T AES requires much less time compared to T EPM [38].…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a giant ecosystem where many objects are connected. They collect and exchange large amounts of data at a very high speed. One of the main parts of IoT is the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), which is deployed in various critical applications such as military surveillance and healthcare that require high levels of security and efficiency. Authentication is a primary security factor that ensures the legitimacy of data requests and responses in WSN. Moreover, sensor nodes are characterized by their limited resources, which raise the need for lightweight authentication schemes applicable in IoT environments. This paper presents an informal analysis of the security of X. Li et al.'s protocol, which is claimed to be efficient and resistant to various attacks. The analysis results show that the reviewed protocol does not provide user anonymity and it is vulnerable to session key disclosure attack, many-time pad attack, and insider attack. To address all these requirements, a new three-factor authentication protocol is presented, which guarantees higher security using Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). This protocol does not only withstand the security weaknesses in X. Li et al.'s scheme but also provides smart card revocation and is resistant to cloning attack. In terms of both computational and communicational costs, results demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides higher efficiency in comparison with other related protocols, which makes it notably suitable for IoT environments.
