Abstract: Due to the growing need to use devices with low hardware resources in everyday life, the likelihood of their susceptibility to various cyber-attacks increases. In this regard, one of the methods to ensure the security of information circulating in these devices is encryption. For devices with small hardware resources, the most applicable is low-resource (lightweight) cryptography. This article introduces a new lightweight encryption algorithm, ISL-LWS (Information Security Laboratory – lightweight system), designed to protect data on resource-constrained devices. The encryption algorithm is implemented in the C++ programming language. The paper presents the statistical properties of ciphertexts obtained using the developed algorithm. For the experimental testing for statistical security, the sets of statistical tests by NIST and D. Knuth were used. Separately, the ISL-LWS algorithm was tested for avalanche effect properties. The obtained results of statistical tests were compared with the Present and Speck modern lightweight algorithms. The study and comparative analysis of the speed of encryption and key generation of the three algorithms were carried out on the Arduino Uno R3 board.
