Widespread deployment of mobile and embedded devices in everyday use has brought up not only new concepts and application areas such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) but also several security and privacy problems. In theory, it is possible to mitigate most of these problems by implementing well-known and standardized security algorithms and techniques on IoT devices. However, in practice, it is rather difficult, if not impossible, to implement standard security algorithms on these devices due to their limited resources and processing power. Instead, algorithms specifically tailored for such devices, which are also known as lightweight algorithms, are favored. In this thesis, we will investigate the suitability and adaptability of the lightweight cryptographic algorithms on IoT devices, and compare their implementations with those of standard algorithms. We will realize our implementations on the Arduino Uno, which is widely used in several embedded applications and preferred as a target development platform for its low price-performance ratio. We will mainly focus on block ciphers and hash functions, which are the fundamental components of many cryptographic protocols. Among these protocols, Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) suite and DTLS are perhaps from the most well-known and commonly used ones. With our study, we plan to provide results that may be guidelines for existing and future lightweight implementations of IPSec, DTLS and other security protocols on IoT devices.

Explainable Security in SDN-Based IoT Networks Sarica, Alper Kaan; Angın, Pelin (2020-12-01) The significant advances in wireless networks in the past decade have made a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) use cases possible, greatly facilitating many operations in our daily lives. IoT is only expected to grow with 5G and beyond networks, which will primarily rely on software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization for achieving the promised quality of service. The prevalence of IoT and the large attack surface that it has created calls for SDN-based intelligent security solut...
A PUF-based lightweight group authentication and key distribution protocol Yıldız, Hüsnü; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2020-9) Securing Internet of Things (IoT) applications that collect and transport sensitive data by guaranteeing authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality is a critical challenge. Reducing computation and communication overhead of security functions is also a key concern since a large number of constrained devices may take place in such applications. Our main focus in this thesis is group authentication and key management in IoT. The existing group authentication and key management protocols in the literature pe...

Impossible and improbable differential cryptanalysis of Spook algorithm Bolel, Onur; Tezcan, Cihangir; Department of Cybersecurity (2021-6-14) In recent years, the number of IoT devices increased considerably and the security of IoT devices became an important issue. Furthermore, most IoT devices have constrained resources in terms of memory, area and power. Therefore, cryptographic algorithms that provide their security should be suitable for the implementation on the constrained devices. In 2013, NIST initiated a lightweight cryptography project to define the standards of lightweight cryptography. In 2018, the lightweight cryptography project tu...
A Decision Support System for Optimal Selection of Enterprise Information Security Preventative Actions Sonmez, Ferda Ozdemir; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2021-09-01) Types and complexity of information security related vulnerabilities are growing rapidly and present numerous challenges to the enterprises. One of the key challenges is to identify the optimal set of precautions with limited budget. Despite the fact that majority of enterprises have a budget constraint for installing and maintaining the protection systems, the majority of the previous work only focus on prioritization of security targets and do not consider the preventative actions and budget constraints. ...
