SECURING CONSUMER ELECTRONICS: A DEEP DIVE INTO CRYPTOGRAPHIC FILE SYSTEM ALGORITHM PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The rapid proliferation of consumer electronic devices with limited capabilities over the last decade has ushered in a remarkable era of growth, necessitating the establishment of a more robust computing, storage, and communication framework to ensure heightened security. This surge in consumer electronics has permeated diverse sectors such as communication, finance, entertainment, and other services, imposing a pressing need to adhere to stringent information security standards. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, including the Financial Services Modernization Act and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, underscores the imperative of encrypting electronic customer information during transmission or storage on networks and systems vulnerable to unauthorized access. As the consumer electronics landscape continues to expand, the integration of devices into the Internet of Things (IoT) poses a formidable challenge in devising security solutions capable of safeguarding the exchanged data. In the contemporary realm of digital communication networks, ensuring the privacy and security of transmitted data has emerged as an indispensable prerequisite for effective communication. Over time, there has been a concerted effort to explore data security schemes that furnish secure, real-time data storage across various applications, taking into account an array of potential attacks. In this context, the focus has shifted towards the exploration and implementation of lightweight cryptography algorithms, particularly in the context of resource-constrained devices within the IoT. These lightweight cryptography algorithms serve as a crucial line of defense, mitigating security risks associated with devices operating under resource constraints. This paper delves into the evolving landscape of data security, emphasizing the significance of encryption protocols and the adoption of lightweight cryptography in addressing the unique challenges posed by the IoT ecosystem.
