Abstract

Aiming at a large number of Sensor Nodes is restricted by hardware resources about the application of Internet of Things so that the AES and CMAC algorithm of LoRaWAN protocol cannot run normally. A novel lightweight block cipher algorithm is proposed with the purpose of overcoming the disadvantage, which combines Logistic chaotic mapping with Arnold transformation. The cipher algorithm considers that two important factors, namely hardware resources consumption and security. It is compatible with LoRaWAN protocol and suitable for limited hardware resources of sensor nodes.
