Literature Review on Lightweight Authentication Algorithms in Remote Data Transfer

With Smart Devices emerging as a potentially game-changing technology in the future, it is anticipated that it will generate a massive volume of data that may be vulnerable to security vulnerabilities. Therefore, lightweight cryptography has been identified as one of the acceptable mechanisms for protecting Smart Devices applications from hackers. This is since lightweight cryptography is designed to fulfill security demands in hardware and software that are resource constrained. When it comes to building lightweight cryptography for Smart Devices applications, specifically for integrity and authentication algorithms, the purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis of the existing security requirements. There was a four-step approach that was utilized to adopt the Kitchenham systematic review method. In this investigation, the articles that were chosen for research were retrieved from four credible databases, and after meeting the selection criteria, 57 of them were declared appropriate for subsequent analysis. A significant portion of the research was concentrated on assaults directed against Smart Devices applications, system security needs, and techniques for lightweight authentication. For the purpose of achieving the desired security requirements for sustainable security management in Smart Devices, this study may provide researchers with a reference for building user authentication algorithms that are lightweight.
