• Abstract: The recent surge in security concerns for IoT devices highlights the increasing threat of cryptographic vulnerabilities. These weaknesses can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and manipulation of device functions, compromising the privacy and security of both the devices and their users. Given the limited computational power of IoT devices, especially when handling large amounts of data, encrypting and transmitting data over insecure networks poses significant challenges. This situation not only heightens security risks and prolongs runtime, but also degrades performance and consumes more resources. To address these issues, a novel cryptographic system named HELO (Hybrid Encryption Lightweight Optimization) is proposed. It is hybridized and gives solid security against cryptographic cyberattacks. However, the research objective is to enhance the security level of IoT devices without decreasing their performance. This system is ideal for resource-constrained gadgets due to its lightweight mechanism. Finally, it offers top-level cryptographic security for IoT gadgets by guaranteeing confidentiality, integrity, and availability while doing P2P data transmission.
