Abstract-The Internet of Things (IoT) being a promising technology of the future is expected to connect billions of devices. The increased number of communication is expected to generate mountains of data and the security of data can be a threat. The devices in the architecture are essentially smaller in size and low powered. Conventional encryption algorithms are generally computationally expensive due to their complexity and requires many rounds to encrypt, essentially wasting the constrained energy of the gadgets. Less complex algorithm, however, may compromise the desired integrity. In this paper we propose a lightweight encryption algorithm named as Secure IoT (SIT). It is a 64-bit block cipher and requires 64-bit key to encrypt the data. The architecture of the algorithm is a mixture of feistel and a uniform substitution-permutation network. Simulations result shows the algorithm provides substantial security in just five encryption rounds. The hardware implementation of the algorithm is done on a low cost 8-bit micro-controller and the results of code size, memory utilization and encryption/decryption execution cycles are compared with benchmark encryption algorithms.

We proposed a mathematical model for an incompressible, viscous, natural convection, and stagnation point slip flow of MHD Prandtl fluid over an infinite plate. The governing flow equations are constructed using the Prandtl rheological model. In account of physical relevance, we investigated the Soret and Dufour effects on the flow field. The complex natured flow equations are transformed to a set of PDEs using a suitable similarity variables. The non-dimensionalized ruling problem together with physical boundary conditions is numerically analyzed via Crank-Nicolson scheme. The velocity, temperature and concentration of the diffusing species distributions are enhanced for higher values of unsteadiness parameter. It is noted that velocity is slightly decreasing for higher values of Reynolds number while smaller values of Re providing more dominant effects on the velocity, temperature and concentration of the diffusing species profiles and enhanced heat and mass transfer rates is noticed. The physical behavior of reduced Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, friction factor, for distinct values of emerging parameters is examined and representative set of graphs are presented. Highlights Flow model is presented for MHD Prandtl fluid flow over an infinite plate. Mathematical model is performed for unsteady flow with Soret and Dufour effects. The proposed model is solved via crank Nicolson finite difference scheme. Simulations are performed for skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers.
