Abstract
Cryptographic standards were created with the goal of being able to work on a wide range of systems. Small computing systems with limited capacity to implement cryptography have become more popular in recent years. Their performance may not be suitable to fit inside the restricted resources of constricted situations.In order to provide a strategy for the standardisation and security of lightweight cryptographic algorithms, a lightweight cryptography is required. The purpose of this proposed research paper is to standardize lightweight cryptography techniques and security.The Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, automotive systems, distributed control systems, sensor networks, healthcare and smart grid are merely a few among the new industries where extremely restricted components are networked and working together to achieve a purpose. Many cryptographic methods cannot be implemented in the restricted devices utilized by these apps since the bulk of recent cryptographic techniques were intended for desktop/server settings. When present algorithms are developed to fit into confined settings’ limited resources, their performance may be unacceptable. The suggested research has been created to explore the challenges and then build a plan for the standardization of lightweight cryptographic algorithms and security in light of the aforementioned limitation. While lightweight cryptography is mainly aimed at devices at the low end of the device spectrum, it is crucial to highlight that lightweight algorithms may also be required at the high end. This research therefore suggests a comprehensive lightweight security micro-architecture that combines lightweight cryptography to earn secrecy, lightweight cryptographic hash for authentication of messages, lightweight ID-based encryption for the authentication of entity process, and lightweight protocols for implementing each one of these algorithms in a common micro-architecture that can be used for IoT and embedded/FPGA security.
