| Abstract: | With the growth of the Internet of Things, the number of resource-constrained devices connected to the internet grows vastly. These devices are constrained in energy usage, processing, memory, storage, etc. The advancement in the comfort, several security challenges come up. Many researchers have attempted to address such issues. Every IoT device must be able to identify and authenticate other IoT devices. However, due to the nature of the IoT, this process can be quite difficult. To provide authentication in resource-constrained environments, in recent years lightweight authentication protocols have been proposed. These lightweight protocols are targeted at resource-constrained devices and provide less heavy cryptography than conventional protocols. However, lightweight protocols have not been investigated as thoroughly as conventional protocols. In this research we study and benchmark several lightweight protocols. We identify key metrics for lightweight cryptographic protocols and have collected data regarding these metrics from the literature. The metrics that the protocols will be evaluated and bench-marked on are memory usage, gate area, latency, throughput, and energy consumption. The result is a ranking of protocol performance for each of the metrics, as well as some possibilities for future research that is related. |
