BLEND: Efficient and blended IoT data storage and communication with application layer security. (arXiv:2306.16540v1 [cs.CR])

Many IoT use cases demand both secure storage and secure communication.
Resource-constrained devices cannot afford having one set of crypto protocols
for storage and another for communication. Lightweight application layer
security standards are being developed for IoT communication. Extending these
protocols for secure storage can significantly reduce communication latency and
local processing.

We present BLEND, combining secure storage and communication by storing IoT
data as pre-computed encrypted network packets. Unlike local methods, BLEND not
only eliminates separate crypto for secure …
