Linear diffusion layer is an important part of lightweight block ciphers and hash functions. This paper presents an efficient class of lightweight 4x4 MDS matrices such that the implementation cost of them and their corresponding inverses are equal. The main target of the paper is hardware oriented cryptographic primitives and the implementation cost is measured in terms of the required number ...

The evolution of embedded systems and their applications in every daily activity, derive the development of lightweight cryptography. Widely used crypto-libraries are too large to fit on constrained devices, like sensor nodes. Also, such libraries provide redundant functionality as each lightweight and ultra-lightweight application utilizes a limited and specific set of crypto-primitives and pr...

The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies is becoming widespread in all kind of wireless network-based applications. As expected, applications based on sensor networks, ad-hoc or mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) can be highly benefited from the adoption of RFID solutions. There is a strong need to employ lightweight cryptographic primitives for many security applications beca...

Green Cryptography is a technique which enables a natural succession of cryptographic primitives. Cryptographic operations are made energy-efficient in a way that it promises the use of approaches of lightweight cryptography. These Lightweight cryptographic algorithms are certainly worn for the devices which use low or extremely low resources. In this paper we have proposed a watermarking schem...

The nature of constrained resources of sensor nodes, beside of the inherent vulnerability, led to proposing many lightweight cryptosystems in Wireless Sensor Networks. In this paper, we have traced the use of appropriate cryptosystems for wireless networks and covered different cryptographic protocols of main primitives, which are Encryption, Digital Signature and Key Agreement. Our unique inte...

Resource-efficient cryptographic primitives are essential for realizing both security and efficiency in embedded systems like RFID tags and sensor nodes. Among those primitives, lightweight block cipher plays a major role as a building block for security protocols. In this paper, we describe a new family of lightweight block ciphers named KLEIN, which is designed for resourceconstrained devices...

Traditional and lightweight cryptography primitives protocols are insecure against quantum attacks. Thus, a real-time application using traditional or does not ensure full-proof security. Post-quantum is important for the internet of things (IoT) due to its security This paper offers broad literature analysis post-quantum IoT networks, including challenges research directions adopt in applicati...
