Lightweight Symmetric Encryption and Attribute Based Encryption Method to Increase Information Safety in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Direct data transmission in a wireless sensor network raises the data transfer cost. In addition, the lifetime of sensor networks is shortened because of the rise in energy required for data exchange. As a result, data aggregation is utilized in WSN to lessen the burden of transmission costs and lengthen the useful life of the sensor networks. The sensor nodes and their collected data are vulnerable to destruction because they are broadcasting in a hostile environment. Therefore, data security is a major topic of study for WSN. Due to the limited resources of the sensor network, conventional wireless network security measures are ineffective. With Speck encryption and CP-ABE, the proposed Lightweight Secured remote Health monitoring System (LSHS) can protect health data and restrict who can access it while using less power. Lightweight block ciphers are optimal for protecting medical records, according to the research. Using the LSHS, we evaluate how well-known lightweight block ciphers like AES, Simon, and Speck perform. Both encrypting and decrypting with the Speck technique require less processing time. Therefore, medical records are encrypted using the Speck algorithm.
