Abstract

Lightweight block ciphers have become essential for securing data in Iot devices and other resource-constrained environments. Encryption serves as a vital method for ensuring information security, yet a deeper analysis of the relationship between algorithm components and their security strength is needed. In this paper, we present a comprehensive systematic literature review of 101 existing lightweight block ciphers, focusing on their security aspects and the selection of secure design components, such as substitution and permutation functions.

This review examines the evolution of lightweight algorithms and their performance in terms of RAM size and execution cycles. By exploring the impact of these design choices on security strength, we identify the importance of incorporating confusion and diffusion properties to develop robust algorithms. The findings provide recommendations for developers on designing secure algorithms, while highlighting modern advances and potential future research directions in the field.As technology advances rapidly, it is crucial to understand the challenges and solutions in lightweight cryptography. This knowledge will help develop stronger protection methods as crypt analysts continue to break ciphers once deemed unbreakable. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the ongoing development of effective security measures for emerging technologies.

Keyphrases: block cipher, lightweight, small computing devices
