Improved RSA with Enhanced Security on STM32 @ 84MHz.

Enhanced computations resulted in the evolution of cyber-physical systems (CPS). These systems are highly vulnerable to security threats. This work addresses the security concerns for a reliable CPS in the Internet of Things (IoT) through an improvised RSA with enhanced security features. The proposed method renders data throughput encryption at 11.67 Kbps with an overall average execution time of 0.02 s. The proposed algorithm exhibits the unique feature of being asymmetric, lightweight & enhanced security owing to randomization (average entropy of 0.98). The performance metrics of the proposed method are compared with other state-of-art techniques. This algorithm is implemented on commercially competent architecture STM32F401RET6 with cortex M4 processor running @ 84 MHz. The proposed encryption method exhibits great features thus making it a potential real-world solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
