Design of secure communication in network with limited resources

The new technological approaches bring us into the digital era, where data security is a part of our everyday lives. Nowadays cryptographic algorithms, which are also recommended by international security standards, are often developed for non-limited devices and they are not suitable for limited environments. This paper deals with a lightweight solution for the structure of big numbers, which should help with ordinary recommended cryptographic algorithms in limited devices. We introduce our lightweight structure and elementary algebra for cryptographic primitives based on non-limited OpenSSL library. Last but not least, we provide experimental measurements and verification on the real scenarios.

“…Nevertheless, their paper focuses solely on public-key cryptography schemes based on ECC. Mlynek et al 9 investigate both public-key and symmetric cryptography (AES) at restricted devices such as microcontrollers used in smart grid services. Their work deals with a security design, an energy consumption and memory/code sizes of algorithms used.…”

This work deals with the application of cryptographic schemes and primitives on the computational and memory-restricted microcontrollers. The e±cient implementation of proper cryptographic schemes on these devices improves the security and performance of many applications and communication services in wireless sensor networks, Internet of Things, embedded systems and home automation and other systems which employ constrained devices. In this work, we experimentally implement well-known and widely used cryptographic schemes on the MSP430FX family of microcontrollers and study their performance and memory demands. On these microcontrollers, we evaluate 10 symmetric ciphers, 8 hash functions, modular arithmetic operations and asymmetric cryptographic schemes. Based on obtained results we propose a lightweight cryptographic solution which provides authentication and secure data communication. Our solution has two versions which are designed for applications that must use memory-constrained microcontrollers and for real-time applications that require e±ciency and security. We believe that our proposal and results can help engineers and developers to improve the security or performance in their applications that employ constrained devices.
