Enhanced Data Security Framework Using Lightweight Cryptography and Multi-Level Encryption

Abstract

Network security is essential for individuals as well as organizations in the modern day, since the majority of enterprises and organizations store their data on clouds. Therefore, a way to guarantee data security during network transmission needs to be discovered. Data security also heavily depends on device level security. These days, it's necessary to protect data at the device, network, and application levels simultaneously. The developers of the suggested concept use multi-level encryption techniques and lightweight cryptography algorithms to attempt to safeguard data on all three levels. This paper proposes multi-level cryptography as a fix for the previously noted issue that compared to normal encryption, which uses different keys for each round of encryption, resulting in a complex or powerful algorithm, multi-level encryption protects data more thoroughly.
