Energy Consumption Analysis of Lightweight Cryptographic Algorithms That Can Be Used in the Security of Internet of Things Applications
Özet
The Internet of Things (IoT) has begun to acquire place in our lives quietly and gradually thanks to the presence of wireless communication systems. An increasing number of M2M applications, such as smart meters, healthcare monitoring, transportation and packaging, or asset tracking, make a significant contribution to the growth of devices and connections. Within such a large and uncontrollable ecosystem, IoT poses several new problems. Security and privacy are among the most important of these problems. Lightweight cryptography can be used more effectively for small size, low energy, and small footprint such as RFID tags, sensors, and contactless smart cards. Therefore, it can be used to ensure security and privacy in the IoT applications. In this study, PRESENT, CLEFIA, PICCOLO, PRINCE, and LBLOCK lightweight cryptographic algorithms, which can be used to secure data in IoT applications, were analyzed in a test environment. As a result of the tests, the energy consumption of the algorithms, current measurement, active mode working time, and active mode energy consumption were identified and based on this, some inferences have been made.
