| description | The growth of billions of devices functioning in resource-constrained situations in the Internet of Things (IoT) era poses serious security issues. As a result of their limited processing power efficiency, memory, and battery life, traditional cryptographic algorithms like elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are sometimes too resource-intensive for these devices. Lightweight cryptography has become a crucial field as a remedy, created especially to maintain security while maximizing energy efficiency and reducing resource usage. With an emphasis on contrasting well-known lightweight block ciphers and pointing out areas for future research, this paper examines the most recent developments in lightweight cryptographic methods. In order to synthesize insights into present issues and future goals, it explores cutting-edge methods that improve performance, security, and energy efficiency. Among the main trends that were covered were the trade-offs between resource limitations and security strength, hardware–software co-optimization, block and stream cipher optimization, and hybrid encryption techniques. The study’s conclusion emphasizes how urgently more research is needed to create cryptographic solutions that can sufficiently safeguard IoT devices. |
