Secure Data Sharing in Financial IoT Networks Using Homomorphic Encryption and Distributed Ledger Technologies

This paper addresses the trade-off between network traffic and security in modern digital environments, focusing on how increased traffic affects the strength of encryption and breach rates. Realistic simulations analyze the relationship between network volume and levels of security for insight into how these challenges can be managed effectively. The results emphasize the performance versus robust security measures' balance, pointing towards advanced cryptographic techniques and scalable security solutions. This research helps in providing an understanding of this trade-off so that the optimisation of network performance goes along with high standards on data integrity and protection.
