A Group-Based NTRU-Like Public-Key Cryptosystem for IoT

Abstract

The Internet of things have been widely used to improve our daily life. Public-key cryptosystem plays a central role in the security of IoT. However, classic public-key cryptosystems such as RSA and ECC are not suitable for IoT because of the complicated encryption and decryption operations. NTRU is an efficient public-key cryptosystem. In this paper, we first generalize NTRU and propose a group-based NTRU-like public-key cryptosystem, namely GTRU. Then, we construct high-performance GTRU for IoT. Finally, security analysis shows that our proposed GTRU for IoT is more secure than NTRU against lattice-based attacks.
