A Revocable Fast and Lightweight Parallel Encryption Scheme for IIoT

As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) expands, the number of stakeholders increases. Many entities require significant amounts of data from industrial devices. These data streams improve information sharing and optimize the industrial chain. However, IIoT’s enormous data volumes pose challenges to traditional encryption methods, which are unable to meet efficiency and energy consumption requirements. Thus, a new, efficient encryption algorithm is essential for managing data flows among IIoT subscribers. In this article, we propose a fast, low-energy, high-security encryption scheme to manage multientity data streams. First, we introduce a novel encryption scheme based on the subset sum problem (SSP), which improves energy efficiency and speed. Second, to meet subscription requirements, we employ attribute-based encryption (ABE) for key forwarding. Finally, we handle subscription revocations with device key updates. The device owner utilizes their secret value to generate an identity proof with a key update request.
