"CIPHERING FOR SECURITY: ASSESSING CRYPTOGRAPHIC FILE SYSTEMS IN CONSUMER ELECTRONICS"

Abstract

The past decade witnessed an unprecedented surge in consumer electronic devices, characterized by inherent limitations in computing prowess. This surge necessitates the establishment of a fortified ecosystem encompassing secure computing, storage, and communication protocols. The expansive influence of the consumer electronics market spans vital domains like communication, finance, and entertainment. In response, institutions within these sectors are compelled to align with regulations such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which underscores the encryption of electronic customer information during transit or while residing in networks or systems vulnerable to unauthorized access.

In parallel, the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in a pressing challenge: devising robust security measures to shield exchanged data. In today's interconnected digital realm, safeguarding the privacy and integrity of transmitted data has metamorphosed into an imperative for seamless communication. Consequently, research endeavors have progressively delved into data security paradigms, engineering real-time storage solutions adaptable to a spectrum of applications and resilient against various forms of attacks.

Notably, the advent of lightweight cryptography algorithms has emerged as a linchpin in fortifying resource-constrained devices within the IoT landscape. These algorithms represent a pivotal stride towards augmenting the security posture of an ever-expanding array of interconnected devices, ensuring their resilience against cyber threats.
