“…This scheme reduces the encryption and decryption overheads. Al-Husainy et al [119].introduced a lightweight encryption model with a DNA sequence to create encryption keys that are challenging to decipher. The flexibility of the system is improved by using a variable block size and simple data structure, and only XOR and rotation operations are utilized to speed up the execution of the encryption, decryption, and key generation operations.…”

Cloud computing is a fast-growing industry that offers various online services, including software, computing resources, and databases. Its payment model is usage-based, whereas consistency is based on resource-sharing. Cloud storage is popular among individuals and businesses because it reduces cost, increases productivity, boosts performance, and improves security. However, cloud computing comes with security risks as data are stored with third-party providers, and Internet access limits visibility and control. Effective data security and data protection are key issues compared with traditional on-premise computing. There are several methods for ensuring data security in the cloud, of which cryptography is the most important. Cryptography offers a range of security features including authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, a thorough examination of the different cryptography methods in a single study is lacking. This study comprehensively examined different cryptography methods, including deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA), elliptic curve, homomorphic, hybrid, lightweight, and novel methods. The analysis addresses their methodology, algorithms, results, applications, and limitations and provides valuable suggestions for data security in the cloud. This paper proposes the use of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to ensure safe communication and lightweight cryptography for Internet of Things (IoT) devices with limited resources. This emphasizes the benefit of combining asymmetric security with symmetric efficiency in hybrid cryptography.

The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) spans decades, and the same can be said for its inclusion in healthcare. The IoT is an attractive target in medicine; it offers considerable potential in expanding care. However, the application of the IoT in healthcare is fraught with an array of challenges, and also, through it, numerous vulnerabilities that translate to wider attack surfaces and deeper degrees of damage possible to both consumers and their confidence within health systems, as a result of patient-specific data being available to access. Further, when IoT health devices (IoTHDs) are developed, a diverse range of attacks are possible. To understand the risks in this new landscape, it is important to understand the architecture of IoTHDs, operations, and the social dynamics that may govern their interactions. This paper aims to document and create a map regarding IoTHDs, lay the groundwork for better understanding security risks in emerging IoTHD modalities through a multi-layer approach, and suggest means for improved governance and interaction. We also discuss technological innovations expected to set the stage for novel exploits leading into the middle and latter parts of the 21st century.

“…By generating a private key using an ABC genetic algorithm, encryption execution time was 52.31% lower than the RSA-AES method and total throughput could be increased over 50% both for encryption and decryption. Al-Husainy et al [77] proposed a light-weight cryptography algorithm using the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence for generating random encryption keys. This algorithm demonstrates better performance compared to AES in terms of execution time and immunity for statistical attacks.…”

Pervasive sensing with Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) is a promising technology for continuous health monitoring. Since the sensor nodes are resource-limited, on-node processing and advertisement of digested information via BLE beacon is a promising technique that can enable a node gateway to communicate with more sensor nodes and extend the sensor node’s lifetime before requiring recharging. This study proposes a Dynamic Light-weight Symmetric (DLS) encryption algorithm designed and developed to address the challenges in data protection and real-time secure data transmission via message advertisement. The algorithm uses a unique temporal encryption key to encrypt each transmitting packet with a simple function such as XOR. With small additional overhead on computational resources, DLS can significantly enhance security over existing baseline encryption algorithms. To evaluate its performance, the algorithm was utilized on beacon data encryption over advertising channels. The experiments demonstrated the use of the DLS encryption algorithm on top of various light-weight symmetric encryption algorithms (i.e., TEA, XTEA, PRESENT) and a MD5 hash function. The experimental results show that DLS can achieve acceptable results for avalanche effect, key sensitivity, and randomness in ciphertexts with a marginal increase in the resource usage. The proposed DLS encryption algorithm is suitable for implementation at the application layer, is light and energy efficient, reduces/removes the need for secret key exchange between sensor nodes and the server, is applicable to dynamic message size, and also protects against attacks such as known plaintext attack, brute-force attack, replaying attack, and differential attack.
