Internet of things (IoT) is the infrastructure of global network for the information to the nation for societal use and enabling smart services by interconnecting virtual and physical devices or things based on previous, current and future technologies. IoT application is important to people yet in case the IoT system can’t safeguard the customer data from software engineer, attacks, and shortcomings. Lightweight encryption is a space of a customary cryptographic estimation that is proper for resource obliged contraptions in IoT. Related work for lightweight techniques used for secure data transmission is portrayed in this paper. Security in IoT is still difficult task, to address security issues Lightweight Cryptography Techniques were introduced and to answer security aspects here the paper is going to present some techniques PRESENT, and its equivalent Methods. The term Lightweight came into picture when Lightweight wireless technology is used to run Lightweight IoT devices. Because the sensors used in IoT Devices are low power and less weight so the need of low power, less weight became reason to create Lightweight wireless technologies. This paper discusses major security challenges of IoT devices besides the performance evaluation of various Lightweight cryptographic algorithms.
