Abstract

This technical article presents a novel lightweight security protocol designed specifically for distributed environments. The protocol addresses key limitations in traditional security approaches when deployed with resource-constrained IoT devices, decentralized applications, and edge computing scenarios. By optimizing the cryptographic primitives and handshake sequence, the solution maintains robust security guarantees while significantly reducing computational overhead and bandwidth requirements. The design enables secure end-to-end communication across diverse network topologies, including peer-to-peer architectures common in modern distributed systems. Performance evaluations demonstrate substantial improvements over existing protocols in terms of handshake efficiency, message size, memory utilization, and power consumption, while preserving critical security properties including perfect forward secrecy, mutual authentication, and resistance to common attack vectors
