“…Data is collected by sensor-device and send via in-house Ethernet to a local server where the necessary computing and memory requirement for using classical IT encryption are presents. The local server is connected to the Internet via a gateway-firewall as part of the strategy of ring of defense [19]. This strategy includes many security measurements such as antivirus, firewall, data encryption and authentication process as shown in the Figure 2.…”

A large number of sensors and intelligent devices are interconnected via the internet to collect data as part of the internet of things (IoT) applications. Data security is one of the important challenges for these applications due to vulnerability of the internet. IoT devices limiting factors, such as delay-sensitivity, restricted memory, and low computing capability, make choosing the appropriate data encryption standard extremely important. The current research focuses on evaluating four data security, block cipher standards for the IoT smart home application. Considering the encryption/decryption speed, DES, TDES, AES, and SAFER+ standards are evaluated by implementing the algorithms with MATLAB to determine the best security solution. The simulation of the four standards shows the superiority of SAFER+ standard in term of encryption speed compared to others added to its capabilities on security, and software implementation opportunity. The use of classical symmetric key standards for real time data security in the IoT application can be validated through the selection of SAFER+.

“…SAFER+ is a 128-bit block cipher with three optional key lengths; 128-bit key, 192-bit key, or 256-bit and encryption/ decryption rounds (R) equal to 8, 12 and 16 accordingly [19], [27]. The protocol starts by the key schedule to generat a set of 2R keys from the original secret key owned by both sender and receiver sides (K 1 ).…”

“…The confrontation of SAFER+ standard with existing encryption algorithms proves its superiority in Bluetooth algorithms, but this encryption system is also used in other fields [11]. Its digital VLSI design and FPGA implementation shows an outstanding performance in terms of minimization of delay which enables this algorithm to be utilized for high-speed applications [12,13]. The software implementation of the algorithm confirms its speed quality for various case studies including speech, image and data in general.…”

Nowadays, the Internet era and its components are based on the collection, exchange, and storage of information which represent a sever security concern. Many cipher algorithms have been developed, evaluated, and implemented to increase the protection of data for various applications. The most known strategy of data securing has been the implementation of symmetrical key encryption standards. Secrecy, robustness, reliability, and software/ hardware implementation, are among the most important properties of good cipher standard. In this work, text, data and image encryption/decryption are performed by a MATLAB software implementation of the symmetric key block standard realized using the Secure and Fast Encryption Routine (SAFER+) algorithm with 128 key length option. The results show good performances in encryption/ decryption speed through a set of original procedures to simplify the achievement of nonlinear functions adopted by SAFER+ structure.

This paper presents the design and simulation of a reliable data communication network. Real time data communication network with high load File Transfer Protocol (FTP), database access, E-mail and Voice over IP (VoIP) with PCM quality application are simulated subject to reliability study. OPNET Modeler 14.5 is used as network simulator. Many models are considered in the simulation and tested against many cases (high load, utilization factor of links, network topological change). The simulation results are analyzed and discussed based on the case study of building an Intranet for the North Oil Refineries of Baiji (NORB) in Iraq. This paper deals with performance evaluation of industrial plant Intranet used to interconnect several Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and the evaluation of real-time parameters describing the behavior of the network.
