ABSTRACT
Recently, IoT has witnessed its application in areas related to consumer, health, commercial, industrial and many more. With the rapid growth in technology, it is highly expected that the influence of the Internet of Things will be immense and its exponential growth is certainly expected. However, at the same time, IoT based systems will face very serious issues about their security and any lack of security measures will result in decreased adoption among users. Because of this issue, there is a need to develop a suitable methodology and protocol that will secure IoT networks and the data involved. This paper addresses one of the aspects of data security. To send securely the data over IoT networks, masking and unmasking techniques play a vital role. In the beginning, masking of data is required when the senders transfer it to receivers. In the end, the unmasking of data is required so that the receivers can view what users have sent. In this paper, two techniques, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and the Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA), are analysed and their performances are verified through simulations.
