Lightweight Cryptography for IoT Platforms: Enhancing Security in Embedded Devices

An unprecedented demand for robust security solutions designed to operate within embedded systems constraints has arisen due to the enormous expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This research paper investigates the importance of lightweight cryptography (LWC) for solving these challenges, particularly with regard to implementation on resource constrained IoT platforms and embedded devices. We investigate current security challenges, survey lightweight cryptographic solutions, and explore implementation approaches on hardware and software platforms.
