The Viterbi decoder, which employs the maximum likelihood decoding method, is a critical component in forward error correction for digital communication system. However, lowering power consumption on the Viterbi decoder is a difficult task since the number of paths calculated equals the number of distinctive states of the decoder and the Viterbi decoder utilizes trace-back method. In this paper, we propose a method which minimizes the number of operations performed on the comparator, deployed in the SPEC-T Viterbi decoder implementation. The proposed comparator was applied to the ACSU(Add-Compare-Select Unit) and MPMSU(Minimum Path Metric Search Unit) modules on the decoder. The proposed ACS scheme and MPMS scheme shows reduced power consumption by 10.7% and 11.5% each, compared to the conventional schemes. When compared to the SPEC-T schemes, the proposed ACS and MPMS schemes show 6% and 1.5% less power consumption. In both of the above experiments, the threshold value of 26 was applied.

As the IoT communication environment has been established, communications that utilize not only high-spec machines but also low-spec machines are increasing, but security threats are increasing, too. In recent times, a lot of papers have attempted to reduce the weight of IP layer security techniques such as IPsec and IKEv2 for low-spec machines. Typically, Smyslov proposed Lightweight IKEv2 protocol which is used in IoT environment. However, This proposed protocol had compatibility problem with IKEv2 protocol, So, It is hard to be expected to be used in IoT communication environment. Unlike the Smyslov's protocol, this paper proposed Lightweight IKEv2 protocol which can be compatible of IKEv2 protocol and applied lossless compression algorithm to payload. To suggest lightweight IKEv2 protocol, this paper analyzed IKEv2 protocol and existed lightweight IKEv2 protocol. Furthermore, This paper proved that proposed protocol is more efficient than existed lightweight IKEv2 protocol through performance evaluation as a method.

Internet of Things (IoT) connects devices with various platforms, computing power, and functions. Due to the diversity of networks and the ubiquity of IoT devices, demands for security and privacy are increasing. Therefore, cryptographic mechanisms must be strong enough to meet these increased requirements, while at the same time effective enough to be implemented in devices with long-range specifications. In this paper, we present the performance and memory limitations of modern cryptographic primitives and schemes for different types of devices that can be used in IoT. In addition, detailed performance evaluation of the performance of the most commonly used encryption algorithms in low-spec devices frequently used in IoT networks is performed. To provide data protection, the binary ring uses encryption asymmetric fully homomorphic encryption and symmetric encryption AES 128-bit. As a result of the experiment, it can be seen that the IoT device had sufficient performance to implement a symmetric encryption, but the performance deteriorated in the asymmetric encryption implementation.
