Most safety-critical edge-computing devices rely on lightweight cryptography (LWC)
algorithms to provide security at minimum power and performance overhead. LWC
algorithms are traditionally embedded as a hardware component, but with the advance of
the Internet of Things (IoT), emerging firmware is more likely to support cryptography
algorithms to comply with different security levels and industry standards. This is the first
work to present the soft error assessment of five cryptography algorithms executing in a low …
