An important topic of Data Science is Data Security where data confidentiality appears as a very important issue. When a heavy employment of encryption is necessary, minimization of the overheads and fit into the implementation constraints are required which preserve cryptographic security as well. Accordingly, this talk addresses an approach for design of compact encryption which supports minimization of the overheads, fits into asymmetric implementation constraints and provides certain level of the provable security.
The addressed approach is based on a combination of traditional encryption and coding in order to provide security enhancement of lightweight encryption algorithms which fits into the implementation constraints
