A Survey of Light-Weight Cryptographic Algorithm for Information Security and Hardware Efficiency In Resource Constrained Devices

Cryptography is that apply and analysis of techniques for protected communication system in the interruption of trusted third parties (called arbiter). It is the technique of transforming data to create them secure and proof against attack. In cryptography, the plain text is encrypted to create cipher text at sender side and decrypted to create plain text at receiver. Traditional cryptography algorithms are slow, complex and energy-consuming for handling resource forced devices. Some of the resource forced devices are RFID tags, health care devices and environment with smart objects which have restricted storage device, limited power and fewer data processing capabilities. Light-weight cryptography [1] is employed for resource forced devices. The face of light-weight cipher has been active analysis topic for the past several decades. In this paper, comparative evaluation of recent hardware implementation based on 0.18μm CMOS technology of symmetric lightweight cryptographic algorithm is presented. In addition to this, the survey provides the various attacks which affect the data confidentiality, data integrity and availability.
