Abstract

The importance of the internet has increased exponentially during the COVID pandemic with more businesses and individuals moving their data to the cloud. Whenever we need data to be sent to another person or business, we rely on the internet to send this data. It’s important that when sending sensitive data through the internet, it cannot be intercepted or stolen against unwanted individuals. Cryptography can allow businesses or individuals to transmit their sensitive data across the internet so that no one except the intended party can read the data. For any Cryptography algorithm to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data, mathematical equations are performed to alter the data. Depending on the complexity of these equations, more of the device’s resources are used. In the IoT landscape, it is difficult to secure the data because of the computing power needed. Another problem with current Cryptography standards is Quantum Computing. It has been suggested that Quantum Computing will be 100 million times faster than any computer currently. Therefore, new algorithms need to be created with the constraints of IoT devices but still provide the security that strong algorithms such as AES provide. To tackle this problem a new Cryptography algorithm will be proposed while testing its security and resource management on an IoT device versus the top algorithms used today.
