Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution is transforming our medical system in the current day and making it smarter and smarter. It has a wide range of applications, combining potential mechanical, and financial healthcare. But the main crucial challenge of using IoT in healthcare is security. There were several drawbacks to using conventional cryptography algorithms like physical dimensions, computational needs, memory constraints, and energy consumption, etc. Using the lightweight cryptography concept all these limitations are removed easily and it also provides so many facilities to IoT devices. In this paper, we express a comprehensive analysis of different Ciphers and lightweight algorithms proposed by different researchers like SIMON, TOPSIS, ECC, TEA, ABE, etc. Several scopes and challenges using lightweight cryptographic algorithms using IoT techniques for medical purposes are also explained in the paper that will provide more benefits for future researchers in this field.
