Toward Next-Generation Robust Cryptosystems

Abstract

One of the key research directions aligning with the current and emerging consumer technology is cybersecurity. A variety of technologies including Internet-of-Things (IoT), IoT-Edge/Fog Computing, and embedded systems are gaining more importance in designing smart applications (e.g. smart cities, smart villages, and smart healthcare) with minimal human interventions. All the devices and datacentres in these applications are connected to the Internet for easy and smooth data transmission. Considering the Internet and communication medium properties, attackers get an easy chance to become part of the system and participate in the data communication process. This article presents thoughts on paradigm shift next generation cryptosystems to overcome the vulnerabilities of the omnipresent conventional cryptosystems.
