Abstract

Public key cryptography has been considered too expensive, in terms of resource requirements, for applications within personal area networks and larger wireless sensor networks. Approaches based on public key cryptography for encryption/decryption and key generation respectively have been overlooked as the devices have been considered too low power or resource scarce. In recent times with the explosion of interest in the Internet of Things a range of new devices have been created that are low cost, powerful and could easily be applied within the wireless sensor network/personal area network domain. In this work we create a public key library suite based in selected approached from IEEE 1363 to test two of these new devices and confirm the capabilities of these new devices.
