“…With the improvement of trend setting innovations in cloud computing, designing the secure ciphers along with the consideration of encryption and decryption times and memory usage remains one of the key problems [37]. Therefore, along with security considerations, encryption and decryption time of an image cipher for a real life application must be considered.…”

Smart and interconnected devices can generate meaningful patient data and exchange it automatically without any human intervention in order to realize the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare (HIoT). Due to more and more online security and data hijacking attacks, the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data are considered serious issues in HIoT applications. In this regard, lightweight block ciphers (LBCs) are promising in resourceconstrained environment where security is the primary consideration. The prevalent challenge while designing an LBC for the HIoT environment is how to ascertain platform performance, cost, and security. Most of the existing LBCs primarily focus on text data or grayscale images. The main focus of this paper is about securing color images in a cost-effective way. We emphasis high confidentiality of color images captured by cameras in resource-constrained smartphones, and high confidentiality of sensitive images transmitted by low-power sensors in IoT systems. In order to reduce computational complexity and simulation time, the proposed Lightweight Symmetric Block Cipher (LSBC) exploits chaos-based confusion-diffusion operations at the inter-block level using a single round. The strength of LSBC is assessed by cryptanalysis, while it is ranked by comparing it to other privacy-preserving schemes. Our results show that the proposed cipher produces promising results in terms of key sensitivity and differential attacks, which proves that our LSBC is a good candidate for image security in HIoT.

With advancements in science and technology, cloud computing is the next big thing in the industry. Cloud cryptography is a technique that uses encryption algorithms to secure data. The significant advantage of cloud storage is no difficulty to get to, diminished equipment, low protection, and fixing cost so every association is working with the cloud. Encryption is the process of encoding information to prevent unauthorized access. Nowadays, we desire to secure the information that is to be stored in our computer or transmitted utilizing the internet against attacks.The cryptographic method depends on their response time, confidentiality, bandwidth, and integrity. Furthermore, security is a significant factor in cloud computing for ensuring client data is placed on the safe mode in the cloud. Our research paper compares the efficiency, usage, and utility of available cryptography algorithms.Evaluation results suggest which algorithm is better for which type of data and environment.

“…There are several recent research studies on light-weight cryptography algorithms. Thabit et al performed a validation study on a new light-weight cryptographic algorithm (NLCA) [73] with general symmetric algorithms such RC4, HIGH, SF, AES, SIT, and DES for data transmission in cloud services. The results show that NLCA has the smallest execution encryption/decryption time and lower memory usage.…”

Pervasive sensing with Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) is a promising technology for continuous health monitoring. Since the sensor nodes are resource-limited, on-node processing and advertisement of digested information via BLE beacon is a promising technique that can enable a node gateway to communicate with more sensor nodes and extend the sensor node’s lifetime before requiring recharging. This study proposes a Dynamic Light-weight Symmetric (DLS) encryption algorithm designed and developed to address the challenges in data protection and real-time secure data transmission via message advertisement. The algorithm uses a unique temporal encryption key to encrypt each transmitting packet with a simple function such as XOR. With small additional overhead on computational resources, DLS can significantly enhance security over existing baseline encryption algorithms. To evaluate its performance, the algorithm was utilized on beacon data encryption over advertising channels. The experiments demonstrated the use of the DLS encryption algorithm on top of various light-weight symmetric encryption algorithms (i.e., TEA, XTEA, PRESENT) and a MD5 hash function. The experimental results show that DLS can achieve acceptable results for avalanche effect, key sensitivity, and randomness in ciphertexts with a marginal increase in the resource usage. The proposed DLS encryption algorithm is suitable for implementation at the application layer, is light and energy efficient, reduces/removes the need for secret key exchange between sensor nodes and the server, is applicable to dynamic message size, and also protects against attacks such as known plaintext attack, brute-force attack, replaying attack, and differential attack.
