New and Efficient Lightweight Cryptography Algorithm for Mobile and Web Applications

Abstract

Essentially all forms of online communication involve the use of cryptography to ensure that only the intended recipient of a message can read it. Nearly every protocol includes message encryption as a part of its standard. Whether it is https, sh, or S[MIME, the most common types of connections have encryption enabled by default. Most computers can encrypt and decrypt information without any perceivable difference to the user. Processors found in home computers are fairly powerful, but home computers are not the only devices people have. There are an increasing number of smart devices in your average person's home. These smart IoT devices do not have as powerful hardware as the average PC. To maintain the expected instant transmission of data while providing security, lightweight crypto algorithms are needed for these devices.
