Data compression combined with effective encryption is a common requirement of data storage and transmission. Low cost of these operations is often a high priority in order to increase transmission speed and reduce power usage. This requirement is crucial for battery-powered devices with limited resources, such as autonomous remote sensors or implants. Well-known and popular encryption techniques are frequently too expensive. This problem is on the increase as machine-to-machine communication and the Internet of Things are becoming a reality. Therefore, there is growing demand for finding trade-offs between security, cost and performance in lightweight cryptography. This article discusses asymmetric numeral systems-an innovative approach to entropy coding which can be used for compression with encryption. It provides a compression ratio comparable with arithmetic coding at a similar speed as Huffman coding; hence, this coding is starting to replace them in new compressors. Additionally, by perturbing its coding tables, the asymmetric numeral system makes it possible to simultaneously encrypt the encoded message at nearly no additional cost. The article introduces this approach and analyzes its security level. The basic application is reducing the number of rounds of some cipher used on ANS-compressed data, or completely removing an additional encryption layer when reaching a satisfactory protection level.

The IoT technology is currently used in many areas and marked by growing popularity. On the one hand, the IoT makes our lives easier, on the other hand, it presents challenges in terms of security and privacy protection. An IoT infrastructure is characterized by a high level of threats due to, inter alia, numerous technical barriers that make it difficult to use conventional methods to protect information. The aim of this paper is to present a symmetric coding algorithm based on algebraic groups generated by specific trigonometric curves. The algorithm is dedicated to short data sequences transmitted by devices with limited computing power.

Device-to-device (D2D) communications in 5G networks will provide greater coverage, as devices will be acting as users or relays without any intermediate nodes. However, this arrangement poses specific security issues, such as rogue relays, and is susceptible to various types of attacks (impersonation, eavesdropping, denial-of-service), due to the fact that communication occurs directly. It is also recommended to send fewer control messages, due to authenticity- and secrecy related prevailing requirements in such scenarios. Issues related to IoT applications need to be taken into consideration as well, as IoT networks are inherently resource-constrained and susceptible to various attacks. Therefore, novel signcryption algorithms which combine encryption with digital signatures are required to provide secure 5G IoT D2D communication scenarios in order to protect user information and their data against attacks, without simultaneously increasing communication costs. In this paper, we propose LEES, a secure authentication scheme using public key encryption for secure D2D communications in 5G IoT networks. This lightweight solution is a hybrid of elliptic curve ElGamal-Schnorr algorithms. The proposed scheme is characterized by low requirements concerning computation cost, storage and network bandwidth, and is immune to security threats, thus meeting confidentiality, authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation-related criteria that are so critical for digital signature schemes. It may be used in any 5G IoT architectures requiring enhanced D2D security and performance.

In this article we describe the SHA-3 algorithm and its internal permutation in which potential weaknesses are hidden. The hash algorithm can be used for different purposes, such as pseudo-random bit sequences generator, key wrapping or one pass authentication, especially in weak devices (WSN, IoT, etc.). Analysis of the function showed that successful preimage attacks are possible for low round hashes, protection from which only works with increasing the number of rounds inside the function. When the hash function is used for building lightweight applications, it is necessary to apply a small number of rounds, which requires additional security measures. This article proposes a variant improved hash function protecting against preimage attacks, which occur on SHA-3. We suggest using an additional external randomness sources obtained from a lightweight PRNG or from application of the source data permutation.
