Cryptographic algorithms require extensive computational resources and rely on complex mathematical principles for security. However, IoT devices have limited resources, leading to insufficient computing power. As a result, lightweight cryptography has emerged, which uses fewer computational resources. NIST organized a competition to standardize lightweight cryptography and TinyJAMBU, one of the algorithms in the competition, is a permutation-based algorithm that repeats many permutation operations. In this paper, we implement TinyJAMBU on an 8-bit AVR processor with a proposedtechnique that includes a reverse shift method and precomputing some operations in a fixed key and nonce environment. Our techniques showed a maximum performance improvement of 7.03 times in permutation operations and 5.87 times in the TinyJAMBU algorithm, improving up to 9.19 times in a fixed key and nonce environment.
