Abstract

The need for insertion of technology in everyday tasks has brought an increase in new methodologies and concepts used to accomplish such objectives. By trying to make technology an enabler for an increasing number of personal or work-related activities, we allow devices to collect data about our way of being, that, if not properly protected and used, can prove a vulnerability for our personal security. This is why new means of securing information, even by the tiniest or low-resource devices, need to be implemented and, in many cases, they take the form of cryptographic algorithms, classic or lightweight. Assessing these algorithms can sometimes become difficult, depending on the targeted system or on the environment where the device will be deployed. To address this issue and help developers, in this paper we present a hybrid testbed, comprised of three hardware architectures, that will ensure a general environment in which users can test their security solutions, in order to have an idea of what changes need to be made to provide optimal performances.
