Unveiling time utilization in resource constrained environment

In response to the escalating challenges of resource-constrained environments, this research endeavors to provide a comprehensive analysis of Lightweight Cryptography (LWC). With the increasing prevalence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the growing need for secure communication in diverse settings, understanding cryptographic algorithms’ performance becomes paramount. Existing analyses of LWC algorithms often lack a holistic evaluation, particularly in terms of certain performance dimensions. This research bridges this gap by meticulously examining a curated set of algorithms, including Ascon, Gift, Elephant, Tiny Jambu, Isap, Sparkle, PHOTON-Beetle, Romulus, and Grain. The study focuses on key performance metrics such as execution time, task clock cycles, and throughput, providing a nuanced understanding of these algorithms’ efficiency in real-world scenarios. Innovatively, this research proposes novel ideas for enhancing the performance of LWC algorithms, extending beyond conventional security paradigms. By unveiling and comprehensively analyzing execution time, task clock cycles, and throughput, the study aims to provide actionable insights for optimizing cryptographic protocols. This research stands as a pivotal contribution to the evolving landscape of lightweight cryptography, offering practical solutions to enhance the efficiency and applicability of cryptographic algorithms in resource-constrained environments.
