The growing demand of security features in pervasive computing requires cryptographic implementations to meet tight cost constraints. Lightweight Cryptography is a generic term that captures new efforts in this area, covering lightweight cryptography proposals as well as lightweight implementation techniques. This paper demonstrates the influence of technology selection when comparing different...

Lightweight cryptography has been one of the “hot topics” in symmetric cryptography in the recent years. A huge number of lightweight algorithms have been published, standardized and/or used in commercial products. In this paper, we discuss the different implementation constraints that a “lightweight” algorithm is usually designed to satisfy. We also present an extensive survey of all lightweig...

The Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) mapping, used in cryptography deploys complex Galois field multiplications, which consume lots of area in hardware, making it a costly primitive for lightweight cryptography. Recently in lightweight hash function: PHOTON, a matrix denoted as ‘Serial’, which required less area for multiplication, has been multiplied 4 times to achieve a lightweight MDS mappin...

RFID technology is one of the major applications of lightweight cryptography where security and cost both are equally essential or we may say that cost friendly cryptographic tools have given more weightage. In this paper, we propose a lightweight hash, Neeva-hash satisfying the very basic idea of lightweight cryptography. Neeva-hash is based on sponge mode of iteration with software friendly p...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless networking technology with high mobility and continuous changing of nodes number. The prevention mechanisms of authentication are the first line of defense against the malicious attacks. However, using the traditional authentication schemes is not suitable for the limited resources environments. This research is going to develop a new lightweight auth...
