Design and Implementation of Highly Secured Nano AES Cryptographic Algorithm for Internet of Things

Advancement in the internet of things to meet the requirement of human beings and society makes integration of multiple devices into a single system. The integration of hardware and software needs to be provided with security to avoid the stealing of the data. Otherwise, the hacker may gain control over the devices and change the functioning of the system which may lead to malfunction. In order to provide security for the data transfer in IoT, the security algorithm need to be embedded with the IoT. The algorithm should provide high security and at the same time, it should be efficient. In this paper, an attempt is made to design a synthesizable Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) based Nano Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Intellectual Property (IP) Core which can be used as a crypto engine in an IoT system. The crypto engine developed is optimized in terms of power, area and delay. The developed design when compared with the conventional design has given an area advantage of 81.6%, power of 21.17%, gate delay of 88.44% and path delay of 99.64%.
