Controlling, Analyzing, and Augmenting the Efficiency of IoT Enabled Devices using Juxtaposed Symmetric Block Cipher Algorithms

Abstract

Internet of Things (IOT) is becoming ubiquitous day by day and most of the gadgets used at home, office, hospitals, manufacturing plants etc try to employ this technology where ever possible. Devices that employ IOT technology range from smallest device that tracks the temperature etc, through RFID devices, house hold gadgets like televisions, and ovens and to large manufacturing machining. Such devices link and communicate with the cloud server to provide data for analysis. This results in possibilities of malware attacks at various levels that may challenge privacy and security. This research paper aims at building a modified version of the Present Block Cypher algorithm that will be embedded as part of the IOT device itself. The proposed algorithm has used 256 keys for encrypting the data and it creates a 64-bit key. Block cipher - a type of symmetric cipher, perform continuous mapping which processes information blocks in the size of 64 or 128 bits.
