IoT integration of securable optical transmission using Paillier assisted advanced encryption standard.

The necessity for strong security methods to safeguard sensitive data carried over these kinds of networks has grown as a result of optical communication services rapid development. To increase the security of optical communication, we suggest a Modified Paillier-assisted Advanced Encryption Standard (MP-AES) technique in this study. This strategy combines the Paillier cryptosystem with the AES algorithm. The homomorphic characteristics of the Paillier cryptosystem allow operations to be carried out on data that is encrypted without requiring decryption. By taking advantage of this characteristic, we can securely compute on the AES-encrypted keys, maintaining the secrecy and authenticity of the sent data. To tackle potential weaknesses and improve security, our suggested MP-AES approach incorporates significant changes to the established Paillier system and the AES method. The technique uses a dynamic key creation technique that increases the unpredictability of the encryption procedure and strengthens its defense against cryptographic assaults. We carried out comprehensive simulations and compared the outcomes with the traditional AES techniques employed in optical networks to measure the efficiency and safety of the proposed approach. The results of the experiments show that our updated approach offers increased security while still having a manageable processing burden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
