“…45 Linear cryptanalysis (LC) is another ultra-lightweight block cipher approach, presented in Patil et al 46 This algorithm is insecure against known-plaintext attack and chosen-plaintext attack. 47 A new lightweight algorithm lightweight pseudorandom number generator (LGA) is introduced in Maity et al 48 With the use of permutation, it is possible to launch a known/chosen-plaintext attack on this technique. 49 Another research in Solomon and Elias 50 introduces ciphertext-policy attribute-based (C-AB) encryption lightweight encryption and authentication code generation scheme.…”

In wireless sensor networks, the sensors transfer data through radio signals to a remote base station. Sensor nodes are used to sense environmental conditions such as temperature, strain, humidity, sound, vibration, and position. Data security is a major issue in wireless sensor networks since data travel over the naturally exposed wireless channel where malicious attackers may get access to critical information. The sensors in wireless sensor networks are resource-constrained devices whereas the existing data security approaches have complex security mechanisms with high computational and response times affecting the network lifetime. Furthermore, existing systems, such as secure efficient encryption algorithm, use the Diffie–Hellman approach for key generation and exchange; however, Diffie–Hellman is highly vulnerable to the man-in-the-middle attack. This article introduces a data security approach with less computational and response times based on a modified version of Diffie–Hellman. The Diffie–Hellman has been modified to secure it against attacks by generating a hash of each value that is transmitted over the network. The proposed approach has been analyzed for security against various attacks. Furthermore, it has also been analyzed in terms of encryption/decryption time, computation time, and key generation time for different sizes of data. The comparative analysis with the existing approaches shows that the proposed approach performs better in most of the cases.

“…In this scheme it is "extremely difficult for an eavesdropper to guess any part of the original information from the sub-packets received along a single route as they contain only some selected bits of the original packet. " (Bhattacharya et al 2018) In addition, lightweight cipher algorithms exist that are specifically designed for energy and computational resource constrained devices in wireless networks (Maity et al 2017;Katagi et al 2008). The use of node-disjoint paths in addition to encryption to increase security is discussed in Alwan and Agarwal (2013).…”

Through direct communication, device-to-device (D2D) technology can increase the overall throughput, enhance the coverage, and reduce the power consumption of cellular communications. Security will be of paramount importance in 5G, because 5G devices will directly affect our safety, such as by steering self-driving vehicles and controlling health care applications. 5G will be supporting millions of existing devices without adequate built-in security, as well as new devices whose extreme computing power will make them attractive targets for hackers. This paper presents a survey of the literature on security problems relating to D2D communications in mobile 5G networks. Issues include eavesdropping, jamming, primary user emulation attack, and injecting attack. Because multipath routing emerges as a strategy that can help combat many security problems, particularly eavesdropping, the paper contains an extensive discussion of the security implications of multipath routing. Finally, the paper describes results of a simulation that tests three path selection techniques inspired by the literature. The simulation reveals that routing information through interference disjoint paths most effectively inhibits eavesdropping.

“…To guarantee the security of information correspondence sessions in such systems, Stream ciphers algorithms have been used. In particular, hardware stream ciphers and software stream ciphers are the two sorts of stream ciphers each of them contingent upon the stage most suited to their execution [1]. One of the stream ciphers algorithms, Ron Rivest outlined the RC4 algorithm in 1987 but the algorithm kept mystery until the point that it was as often as possible to the cypherpunks mailing list in 1994.…”

“…One of the stream ciphers algorithms, Ron Rivest outlined the RC4 algorithm in 1987 but the algorithm kept mystery until the point that it was as often as possible to the cypherpunks mailing list in 1994. RC4 is the most satisfactory stream cipher; it is utilized as a part of numerous web conventions, for example, Wireless Protected Access (WPA), Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and Secure Socket Layer/ Transport Layer Security (SSL/ TLS) [1]. It is likewise utilized as a part of use, for example, Skype.…”

“…RC4 algorithm predominantly comprises of two phases: the KSA (Key Scheduling Algorithm) to produce, from the key, an initial permutation of the S array and the PRGA (Pseudo Random Generation Algorithm) to create the key stream[2]. RC4 is as yet the most famous stream cipher algorithm because of its straightforwardness, speed, and simplicity of usage although more secure and efficient stream ciphers have been found after it [1].…”

As a significant number of applications in mobile transactions and wireless sensor networks are characterized by short duration sessions, security issues turn into a focal concern. RC4 algorithm is a standout amongst the most broadly utilized stream ciphers which locates its application in numerous security conventions, for example, Wired Equivalence Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protocol Access (WPA). In this paper, we suggest a lightweight variation of the well-known RC4 algorithm that is exceptionally appropriate for resources of computational compelled gadgets and energy in remote systems, when contrasted with RC4 and its variations like, HC128, Grain-128, and so on.,. We propose new PRGA which is replaced the PRGA keystream generation algorithm of RC4. The proposed LRC4 execution is surveyed in terms of randomness test and time under an arrangement of analyses. The trial comes about demonstrate that the resulting stream are random, and the suggested algorithm quicker compared to standard RC4, the results indicate the average of speed improvement is about 54% in both encryption/decryption sides.
