Hybrid Lightweight and Robust Encryption Design for Security in IoT

Abstract

Pervasive computing is the emerging field that needs ultra lightweight secure designs. In this paper, we have proposed a robust hybrid structure by fusion of RECTANGLE, LED and SPECK. With the help of a hybrid design, we have improved the key scheduling aspect of LED and related key attacks which were neglected in the LED cipher. In this paper, we also aimed at providing robust architecture by reducing footprint area to as less as possible. By using the S-box of RECTANGLE and the bit slicing technique, clustering of linear and differential trails are avoided which also strengthens the cipher.
