The type of MACs we used is hash-based message authentication codes (HMAC) and cipher-block-chaining message authentication code (CBC-MAC). The most important thing about ultra-low SWaP devices is their energy usage. This thesis measures different implementations' execution times on ultra-low SWaP devices. We could understand which implementation is suitable for a specific device. In order to understand the crypto algorithm we used, this thesis briefly introduces the concept of hash-based message authentication codes (HMAC) and cipher-block-chaining message authentication code (CBC-MAC) from a high level, including their usage and advantage. The research method is empirical research. This thesis determines the execution times of different implementations. These two algorithms (HMAC and CBC-MAC) contain three implementations. The result comes from those implementations running on the devices we used.ETDenIn CopyrightCryptographyHMACAES-CMACUltra-Low SWaP DevicesThesis
