Securing the Internet of Things: A New Lightweight Cryptosystem

Additional Funding Sources

This research was supported by the Mathematical Association of America SUMMA Tensor grant and by the Department of Mathematics at Boise State University.

Abstract

The internet connected modern world raises many security and privacy concerns. Cryptography is one of the main tools in addressing these concerns. Classical cryptosystems relied on internet connected devices having significant computational and memory resources. Advances in technology have led to smaller, less resource rich devices, having internet connectivity. Examples include implantable medical devices such as insulin pumps, pacemakers, deep brain stimulators, etc. New cryptosystems that provide high security and privacy despite limited computational and memory resources are in critical demand. Such cryptosystems are called Lightweight cryptosystems. In this project we develop a lightweight cryptosystem which is based on a different mathematical platform than that of current candidates for being a recommended standard by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
