Due to the increasing demand for Internet of Things (IoT) applications with sensitive data, use encryption on constrained devices is crucial protecting and ensuring privacy security. The used in such have limited computational power, memory, energy resources, making them vulnerable attacks that exploit these limitations. Lightweight cryptography has been growing fast recent years aiming circumv...

For rehabilitation of damaged concrete structures, the durability of repair overlay is a very important issue. Self-compacting concretes (SCC) are known as a suitable repair overlay materials. In this study, the durability of different self-compacting lightweight aggregate concretes (LWSCC) and effect of lightweight aggregate type on them is investigated. 3 mix designs of LWSCC containing three...

In the biclique attack, a shorter biclique usually results in less data complexity, but at the expense of more computational complexity. The early abort technique can be used in partial matching part of the biclique attack in order to slightly reduce the computations. In this paper, we make use of this technique, but instead of slight improvement in the computational complexity, we keep the amo...

there are several courtyards of historical buildings in iran that have changed their original function because of reuse and have adopted for physical adjustments of the renovation projects. usually they are covered by lightweight roofsand have been used as religious spaces, praying or audience halls, restaurants, exhibitions rooms, etc. unfortunately most of these lightweight roofs have inappro...

we give a survey of recent applications of group rings to combinatorics and tocryptography, including their use in the di erential cryptanalysis of block ciphers.

This letter proposes a group key distribution scheme using smart contract-based blockchain technology. The contract’s functions allow for securely distributing the session key, following initial legitimacy detection public infrastructure-based authentication. For message authentication, we propose lightweight symmetric cryptography-based signature method, supporting security and privacy require...

The Internet-of-things (IoT) has rapidly grown in recent years, making it an integral part of many areas our lives. Many IoT networks require high data throughput and low latency, allowing for real-time communication transmission, enabling improved efficiency, cost savings, enhanced decision-making capabilities various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, smart cities. ...

With the Internet of Things (IoT) becoming expo-nentially more prevalent, need for lightweight cryptography functions increases simultaneously. Namely, IoT end devices are mostly limited by their resource-constrained capabilities and therefore cannot rely on heavyweight cryptographic algorithms such as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) or Diffie-Hellman (DH) security. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC...
