Toward Next-Generation Robust Cryptosystems

A variety of technologies including Internet-of-Things (IoT), IoT-edge/fog computing, and embedded systems are gaining more importance in designing smart applications (e.g., smart healthcare) with minimal human interventions. All the devices and datacenters in these applications are connected to the Internet. Considering the Internet properties, cybersecurity attackers get an easy chance to become part of the system and participate in the data communication process. This article presents thoughts on paradigm-shift next generation cryptosystems to overcome the vulnerabilities of the omnipresent conventional cryptosystems.
