Improvement of the CurveCP Cryptography for Enhancing the Secure of Internet of Things

Abstract

With the increase of the threats at information security in Internet of Things (IoT), there are more and more security solutions have been designing. Unlike the traditional security, these solutions need to adapt with IoT Platform because of the difference about complex communication protocol, low energy, processing ability and limited memory. Our research team, after had been under a long process of analyzing theoretical documents and operating simulated experiments, improved, and implemented CurveCP which is one of these Lightweight cryptographies in the Wireless sensor Networks (WSN) to enhance data secure and information security of IoT System. This study briefly describes the improvement of CurveCP Lightweight cryptography by reducing length of cryptographic key as well as implement in IoT System. It also includes the simulated experiments, solutions evaluation, conclusion, and future development.
