“…Therefore, a performance evaluation over constrained platforms of more sophisticated modes like authenticated encryption is relevant since they present significant impact on energy consumption compared to ECB. Additionally, Hyncica et al [12] do not provide energy measurements, which is very important in the context of battery-powered devices. They also do not address the performance behavior when operating systems also play a role.…”

The deployment of security services over Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and IoT devices brings significant processing and energy consumption overheads. These overheads are mainly determined by algorithmic efficiency, quality of implementation, and operating system. Benchmarks of symmetric primitives exist in the literature for WSN platforms but they are mostly focused on single platforms or single operating systems. Moreover, they are not up to date with respect to implementations and/or operating systems versions which had significant progress. Herein, we provide time and energy benchmarks of reference implementations for different platforms and operating systems and analyze their impact. Moreover, we not only give the first benchmark results of symmetric cryptography for the Intel Edison IoT platform but also describe a methodology of how to measure energy consumption on that platform.

“…In 2011, Hyncica et al [12] evaluated the performance of 15 different block ciphers on three different microcontrollers (of 32-bit, 16-bit, and 8-bit instructions). They used the TomCrypt LTC library version 1.16 which is a general purpose cryptographic library for 32-bit platforms and thus not optimized for constrained microcontrollers.…”

“…The encryption and decryption times of AES on various embedded processors are reported in [24] and [25]. In our numerical study we let the data size be 12 000 bits, the encryption time and be 50 ms (assuming an encryption throughput of 300 kbits/s, a constant key setup time of 10 ms on the Texas Instruments MSP430 platform [24], and equal decryption time), the sensing time be 30 ms, the communication time be 40 ms, and the computation time be 30 ms. The normalized results of our numerical study are reported in Fig.…”

Abstract-This letter proposes a holistic framework for the design and operation of secure and reliable resource-constrained cyber-physical systems. The proposed framework combines control-theoretic methods, information security notions and computational models to characterize tradeoffs among different design and operation objectives. We quantify the intricate relation among control performance, system security and platform schedulability through a minimal set of interface variables. We argue that security mechanisms and control algorithms need to be codesigned and comanaged with the embedded platform, so as to avoid the design of algorithms that are too expensive to implement on the embedded platform, or significantly impede design objectives such as performance and timing robustness.

“…Concerning speed records for AES on microcontroller devices, Hyncica in [19] presents optimized AES results of 172 cycles/byte for the MSP430 platform that is based on 32-bit table-based code ported from LibTomCrypt [20]. Gouvea [15] first presented the 16-bit lookup table strategy for AES in which they reported 180 cycles/byte on a MSP430 platform.…”

Abstract. Embedded microcontroller applications often experience multiple limiting constraints: memory, speed, and for a wide range of portable devices, power. Applications requiring encrypted data must simultaneously optimize the block cipher algorithm and implementation choice against these limitations. To this end we investigate block cipher implementations that are optimized for speed and energy efficiency, the primary metrics of devices such as the MSP430 where constrained memory resources nevertheless allow a range of implementation choices. The results set speed and energy efficiency records for the MSP430 device at 132 cycles/byte and 2.18 µJ/block for AES-128 and 103 cycles/byte and 1.44 µJ/block for equivalent block and key sizes using the lightweight block cipher SPECK. We provide a comprehensive analysis of size, speed, and energy consumption for 24 different variations of AES and 20 different variations of SPECK, to aid system designers of microcontroller platforms optimize the memory and energy usage of secure applications.
