The Study of Cryptographic Algorithms and Performance Measurements Across Heterogeneous Devices

Summary/Abstract: Confidential information can be safely sent between various types of devices over insecure communication channels by using cryptography. Typically, students are taught how cryptography algorithms are designed and how they should be safely utilized. Little information is provided about how to implement the algorithms across heterogeneous devices. We implemented several cryptographic algorithms to protect devices ranging from personal computers, tablets, and wireless sensors. We demonstrated with the Java prebuilt-in libraries and our custom cross-platform implementations. We focused on the similarities and differences as well as performance limitations. After students complete their projects, they will better understand different cryptographic algorithm implementations. Our four learning modules will enable students to compare and contrast firsthand the implementation of standard security algorithms across various devices and platforms.
