A survey analyzing encryption schemes for IoT security measures

연구 분야: Cryptography

학회: The Journal of Supercomputing

Researchers focus on protecting users’ data in storage platforms such as cloud, edge, and fog due to the widespread deployment of Internet of Things environments and devices and high-speed networks. This includes safeguarding data collected from various sources like social media, healthcare, education, business, and defense against unauthorized use. To achieve this goal, it is essential to discuss different cryptographic encryption techniques and algorithms, especially those relevant to securing data obtained from IoT environments. In this paper, different cryptographic schemes are discussed, focusing on attribute-based encryption, searchable-based encryption, identity-based encryption, proxy re-encryption, functional encryption scheme, and predicate encryption schemes. Computations on the raw data obtained from IoT devices can be performed at the edge or cloud using homomorphic encryption, which has also been discussed. Lightweight cryptography is designed for low-power-consuming IoT devices. Here, different cryptographic schemes are compared using distinct parameters.
