This study introduces lightweight SMS4 encryption for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to counter white-box attacks. The new method reduces memory needs and computational costs for secure WSN deployment.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Cybersecurity
  • Network Engineering

Background:

  • Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) face security challenges due to deployment in hostile environments, making them vulnerable to white-box attacks where adversaries have full system visibility.
  • Existing encryption algorithms suitable for white-box attacks are often too memory-intensive for resource-constrained WSN nodes.
  • Developing secure and efficient cryptographic solutions for WSNs against sophisticated attacks remains a critical research area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose lightweight and secure implementations of the SMS4 symmetric encryption algorithm specifically designed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) operating in white-box attack environments.
  • To address the limitations of existing encryption methods that demand significant memory resources, rendering them unsuitable for WSNs.
  • To enhance the security posture of WSNs against potential node capture and data compromise by adversaries.
