“…The ChaCha20 [154] stream cipher generates a legitimate, seemingly random stream of bits by combining the outcomes of three basic arithmetic operations: addition, rotation, and exclusive-or (XOR). To guarantee the authenticity of a communication, Poly1305 authenticators generate two tags, an authentication tag and a verification tag.…”

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has brought about tremendous possibilities, but at the same time, it has opened up new vulnerabilities and attack vectors that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of connected systems. Developing a secure IoT ecosystem is a daunting challenge that requires a systematic and holistic approach to identify and mitigate potential security threats. Cybersecurity research considerations play a critical role in this regard, as they provide the foundation for designing and implementing security measures that can address emerging risks. To achieve a secure IoT ecosystem, scientists and engineers must first define rigorous security specifications that serve as the foundation for developing secure devices, chipsets, and networks. Developing such specifications requires an interdisciplinary approach that involves multiple stakeholders, including cybersecurity experts, network architects, system designers, and domain experts. The primary challenge in IoT security is ensuring the system can defend against both known and unknown attacks. To date, the IoT research community has identified several key security concerns related to the architecture of IoT systems. These concerns include issues related to connectivity, communication, and management protocols. This research paper provides an all-inclusive and lucid review of the current state of anomalies and security concepts related to the IoT. We classify and analyze prevalent security distresses regarding IoT’s layered architecture, including connectivity, communication, and management protocols. We establish the foundation of IoT security by examining the current attacks, threats, and cutting-edge solutions. Furthermore, we set security goals that will serve as the benchmark for assessing whether a solution satisfies the specific IoT use cases.

Nowadays, lightweight cryptography attracts academicians, scientists and researchers to concentrate on its requisite with the increasing usage of low resource devices. In this paper, a new lightweight encryption scheme is proposed using the chaotic map. This encryption scheme is an addition–rotation–XOR block cipher designed for its supremacy, efficacy and speed execution. In this addition–rotation–XOR cipher, the equation for chaotic map is iteratively solved to generate unique random numbers in a speedy manner using the logistic and Chirikov map. Chaotic maps, encryption algorithms, and cryptography are three approaches that are frequently used to safeguard digital data from unauthorized access and use. Chacha20 is a lightweight encryption algorithm, fast and secure and provides a balance between high security and little complexity and execution time the addition, in this work the development of the Chacha20 algorithm is used to provide the required security for data transmission. Therefore, we created a randomness key to power the algorithm against various attacks Using the chaotic map to generate a random key for the encryption/decryption operations to improve the diffusion of the ChaCha20 cryptography algorithm's stream secret key. Finally, the cipher results are constructed from the input data and evaluated with various statistical as well as randomness tests correlation coefficient, SNR, and UAIC metrics prove that the proposed enhancement of the Chaha20 stream cipher algorithm (EChacha20) with chaotic addition–rotation–XOR stream cipher is efficient in terms of randomness and speed. For the end discussed complete models with security measures in this research

“…As such, some approaches have been explored to increase the bit rate of the AEAD implementation. For example, the in-memory implementations of ChaCha20 improve the bit rate and the security for side-channel attacks [12]. Finally, the hardware implementations provide a high bit rate compared to other implementations.…”

Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides a secure channel for end-to-end communications in computer networks. The ChaCha20–Poly1305 cipher suite is introduced in TLS 1.3, mitigating the sidechannel attacks in the cipher suites based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). However, the few implementations cannot provide sufficient speed compared to other encryption standards with Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD). This paper shows ChaCha20 and Poly1305 primitives. In addition, a compatible ChaCha20–Poly1305 AEAD with TLS 1.3 is implemented with a fault detector to reduce the problems in fragmented blocks. The AEAD implementation reaches 1.4-cycles-per-byte in a standalone core. Additionally, the system implementation presents 11.56-cycles-per-byte in an RISC-V environment using a TileLink bus. The implementation in Xilinx Virtex-7 XC7VX485T Field-Programmable Gate-Array (FPGA) denotes 10,808 Look-Up Tables (LUT) and 3731 Flip-Flops (FFs), represented in 23% and 48% of ChaCha20 and Poly1305, respectively. Finally, the hardware implementation of ChaCha20–Poly1305 AEAD demonstrates the viability of using a different option from the conventional cipher suite based on AES for TLS 1.3.
