Development of ADDA (additional data) algorithm for IoT security and privacy

Abstract

Internet becomes one of the basic necessity of a person. From simple sharing of data and information, internet nowadays offers millions of things such as free storage, free communication. Privacy and Security Issues are being compromise with the so many things that Internet provided. Billions of IoT devices will be released in the market by 2020 [1]. To secure connection between devices, the researcher added additional security using ADDA Algorithm. This algorithm will add additional blocks to the traditional encryption for additional security to the gateway of a particular IoT device. There are three (3) parameters to be used in this study to provide security and privacy for the IoT sites and devices. These are the accuracy, encryption speed and decryption speed of data. In this study, the researcher explains the step-by-step details how the ADDA algorithm works and make IoT devices secured for day to day use by making a new algorithm. With the results generated, ADDA algorithm gives additional protection to already encrypted data by adding characters based on the algorithm created. The result of encrypting data using ADDA algorithm was exceptional due to high percentage rate of the test conducted.
