“…Nevertheless, traditional standard encryption methods, like the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), cannot be employed in IoT applications because of their disadvantages that do not fit the restricted memory and computational capacities of IoT machines [66]. These challenges can be met by suggesting lightweight encryption methods for these resource-restricted machines (see e.g., [67]- [72]). As an example, khattabi et al [72] suggested to utilize the conventional encryption simply for the first block of data in a particular frame (or superframe) being sent.…”

The security in visible-light communication (VLC) networks has recently gained attention. This work presents a hyperchaotic baseband frequency hopping method based on optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (Hyperchaos-BB-FH-OOFDM) that can enhance both confidentiality and availability in VLC networks. A four-dimensional hyperchaotic scheme is employed for chaotic mapping. The proposed method exploits the random feature of the input data and chaotic codes to improve the confidentiality against correlation and statistical attacks and to improve the availability against illumination, disguised, and noise jamming. Using the chaotic scheme, the bipolar real OFDM samples are exploited to create dynamic cypher keys and spreading codes that are updated at each frame throughout the entire session, leading to high security against malicious attacks. The proposed method employs a four-fold encryption approach that involves chaotic frequency/time-domain scrambling of OFDM subcarriers, chaotic phase scrambling of frequency-domain subcarriers, and chaotic spreading of the OFDM signals upon transmission. According to the results, in addition to enhancing the confidentiality and availability, the method supports multiplexing, reduces the peak-to-average-power ratio of the OFDM signal, and improves the bit error rate performance for OFDM-based VLC networks.

“…However, conventional standard encryption algorithms, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), cannot be used in IoT applications due to their drawbacks (as mentioned earlier) that do not fit the limited memory space and computational capabilities of IoT devices [14]. To encounter these challenges, lightweight encryption methods have been proposed in literature to be implemented on these resource-constrained devices [15]- [25]. In [15], a lightweight cellular automata-based encryption algorithm has been proposed for IoT applications, where sensors' data is encrypted at the perception layer and decrypted at the gateway's network layer.…”

“…Among the relevant works in literature, the analysis in [25] is of particular interest as it requires using conventional encryption only for the first block of data in a given frame (or superframe) being transmitted. The size of this data block is determined by the conventional encryption algorithm to be applied on this first block.…”

Employing heavy conventional encryption algorithms in communications suffers from added overhead and processing time delay; and in wireless communications, in particular, suffers from severe performance deterioration (avalanche effect) due to fading. Consequently, a tremendous reduction in data throughput and increase in complexity and time delay may occur especially when information traverse resource-limited devices as in Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. To overcome these drawbacks, efficient lightweight encryption algorithms have been recently proposed in literature. One of those, that is of particular interest, requires using conventional encryption only for the first block of data in a given frame being transmitted. All the information in the remaining blocks is transmitted securely without the need for using heavy conventional encryption. Unlike the conventional encryption algorithms, this particular algorithm achieves lower overhead/complexity and higher data throughput. Assuming the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, the performance of the lightweight encryption algorithm under study had been evaluated in literature in terms of throughput under the assumption that the first block, that undergoes conventional encryption, is free of error, which is practically unfeasible. In this paper, we consider the AWGN channel with Rayleigh fading and assume that the signal experiences a certain channel bit error probability and investigate the performance of the lightweight encryption algorithm under study in terms of bit error probability and throughput. We derive analytical expressions for these performance metrics considering modulated signals with and without coding. In addition, we propose an extension to the lightweight encryption algorithm under study by further enhancing its security level without significantly affecting the overhead size and processing time. Via numerical results we show the superiority of the lightweight encryption algorithm under study over the conventional encryption algorithms (like the AES) and the lightweight encryption algorithms proposed in literature in terms of error and throughput performance.

Abstract. In the big data protecting technologies, most of the existing data protections adopt entire encryption that leads to the researches of lightweight encryption algorithms, without considering from the protected data itself. In our previous paper (FGEM), it finds that not all the parts of a data need protections, the entire data protection can be supplanted as long as the critical parts of the structured data are protected. Reducing unnecessary encryption makes great sense for raising efficiency in big data processing. In this paper, the improvement of FGEM makes it suitable to protect semi-structured and unstructured data efficiently. By storing semi-structured and unstructured datum in an improved tree structure, the improved FGEM for the datum is achieved by getting congener nodes. The experiments show the improved FGEM has short operating time and low memory consumption.
