Performance Analysis of Encryption Capabilities of ARM-based Single Board Microcomputers

In the few years since Raspberry Pi was released in 2012, countless microcomputers based on ARM architecture have been introduced.Their small size, high performance relative to their power consumption, and ability run popular Linux operating system make them ideal for a wide range of tasks. Information security is an area particular importance. Different encryption encoding algorithms play important role almost all areas information security. However, these are very computationally intensive, so it investigate which can be used tasks, under trade-offs. The ten different investigated presented application common symmetric public-key decryption, digest creation message authentication protocols, such as RSA, AES, HMAC, MD5, SHA. Reliable requires generation reliable (pseudo)random numbers (Cryptographically Secure Random Numbers, CSRN), SoCs usually hardware implemented number generators. applicability random generat er generators presented; test methoods described , recommendations made.
