Abstract
This chapter highlights the advantages of a tight integration between the IoT communication protocol on the one hand and lightweight cryptography on the other. This is illustrated in the multilayer integration of edge-coded signaling (ECS) with a novel, parallel, low-latency version of the A5/1 keystream cipher.
Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on.
