The principal field of the research is the security of the Internet Of Things network. At present, the modern IoT networks such as LoraWAN use i.e. AES - Advanced Encryption Standard, in order to provide the IoT networks with data encryption. These types of the data encryption algorithms were not designed for the usage of low power wide area networks in which we care about low energy consumption. In consequence, nowadays we are looking for more flexible and energy saving infosec solutions. The main goal of the research is to design and implement the data encryption algorithm that would enhance the power consumption of the IoT devices and in the same time ensure that information security is provided. Data confidentiality, integrity and availability are key principals that would be embedded in the proposed solution. Consequently, the node authorization and authentication methods would be also proposed. The results of the research will be tested in the field. The assumed set of the IoT devices to test with customized software are two raw LoraWAN nodes and LoraWAN gateway with access to TTN (The Things of the Network) in combination with one node.
