Case Project 6-3: Lightweight Cryptography
Due to the importance of incorporating cryptography in low-power devices, a new “subfield” of cryptography called lightweight cryptography is being developed. This has the goal of providing cryptographic solutions that are uniquely tailored for low-power devices that need to manage resource vs. security constraints. Research lightweight cryptography. What are its goals? How will it work? What are its limitations? What are its advantages? Write a one-page paper on your findings.
Case Project 6-4: Twofish and Blowfish
Twofish and Blowfish are considered strong symmetric cryptographic algorithms. For example, Blowfish can accommodate key lengths of up to 448 bits (56 bytes). Use the Internet to research both Twofish and Blowfish. How secure are they? What are their features? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How are they currently being used? How would you compare them? Write a one-page paper on your findings.
