\nAssignment Description
\nThe majority of modern cryptographic algorithms were designed for desktop\/server
\nenvironments, many of these algorithms could not be implemented in the low-power devices
\nused in applications such as automotive systems, sensor networks, healthcare, distributed
\ncontrol systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, and the smart grid.
\nSecurity and privacy is important in all of these areas. The lightweight cryptography has the
\ngoal of providing cryptographic solutions that need to maintain the resource vs security
\nconstraint.
\nIn this context write a report including the following sections:
\nA. Introduction about the lightweight cryptography and its goals
\nB. The potential security threats in systems using low-power devices
\nC. The working mechanism of lightweight cryptography
\nD. Performance metrics (Hardware-specific metrics and Software-specific metrics)
\nE. Lightweight cryptographic algorithms
\nF. Current and Future challenges in lightweight cryptography
\nG. Conclusion
\nH. References
\nThe Viva voce of the assignment will take place during Laboratory session in Week 7. The
\nstudent has to answer the viva questions related to the assignment.
\nAssignment Instructions:
\n\uf0b7 Do not use Wikipedia as a source or a reference
\n\uf0b7 Must consider at least five current references from journal\/conference papers and
\nbooks. Must follow IEEE referencing style.
\n\uf0b7 Make sure you properly reference any diagrams\/ graphics used in the assignment.
