A New Framework to Secure Smart City Dataset Using Multi-Level Lightweight Algorithms

Abstract

In this day and age, when most businesses and organizations keep their data on clouds, network security is crucial for both users and organizations. Thus, a solution must be found to ensure data security while being transmitted through networks. The device level security also plays important role to secure data. Now a day we need to secure device level, network level and application-level data together. In the proposed concept authors try to secure data on all three levels using lightweight cryptography algorithms and multi-level encryption methods.  This study offers a multi-level encryption as a solution to the aforementioned problem. Data is safer with multi-level encryption than with standard encryption, which makes use of multiple rounds of encryption using the same or various keys, resulting in a sophisticated or strong algorithm.
