Secure Visible Light Encryption Communication Technique for Smart Home Service

Abstract

For the security enhancement of the conventional visible light (VL) communication which allows the easy intrusion by adjacent adversary due to visible signal characteristic, the VL communication technique based on the asymmetric Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption method is proposed for smart indoor service in this paper, and the optimal key length of the RSA encryption process for secure VL communication technique is investigated, and also the error performance dependent on the various asymmetric encryption key is analyzed for the performance evaluation of the proposed technique. Then we could see that the VL communication technique based on the RSA encryption gives the similar RMSE performance independent of the length of the public or private key and provides the better error performance as the signal to noise ratio (SNR) increases.
