CRYPTOGRAPHIC ALGORITHM TEST AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS IN LOW POWER CAPABILITIES

Sensor devices, RFID tags, wireless sensor networks, Internet of Things and embedded systems, which have increasing usage areas in human life, connect objects internally and maintain continuous communication with each other in a controlled manner with the application fields developed with technological investments and incentives. Seizing of data by unauthorized persons constitutes a serious weakness in terms of security. Cryptography algorithms are also used to create a secure communication by avoiding weaknesses. However, limited resources, such as memory, RAM, battery, etc., affect performance, limit the cryptography algorithms to be applied. This article also examines lightweight encryption algorithms developed for use in restricted sources. Examples of articles that include performance tests and analysis of lightweight algorithms in the literature are included. Cryptographic message transmission is performed by using lightweight block encryption algorithms between two objects with different hardware properties and performance analysis is performed.
