“Energy-Efficient Encryption for the Internet of Things”

MIT researchers have developed a new chip to efficiently execute public-key encryption protocols for IoT devices. The chip performs public-key encryption with significantly faster execution, and consumes less power and memory than the software used to execute the same encryption protocols. This article continues to discuss the chip in relation to its development and technique, along with why software execution of encryption protocols is difficult for IoT devices.
