Due to the long-distance information transmission and the risk of malicious attacks, ensuring the integrity of data in transit is essential. A cryptographically secure frame check sequence (FCS) has shown great advantages in protecting data integrity. However, the commonly used FCS has a collision possibility, which poses a security risk; furthermore, reducing the encryption calculation cost is a challenge. In this paper, we propose a secure, lightweight encryption scheme for transmitted data inspired by mimic defense from dynamic heterogeneous redundancy theory. Specifically, we use dynamic keys to encrypt a data block and generate multiple encrypted heterogeneous blocks for transmission. These continuously changing encrypted data blocks increase the confusion regarding the original encoded data, making it challenging for attackers to interpret and modify the data blocks. Additionally, the redundant information from the multiple blocks can identify and recover tampered data. Our proposed scheme is suitable for resource-constrained environments where lightweight encryption is crucial. Through experimental demonstrations and analysis methods, we determine the effectiveness of our encryption scheme in reducing computational costs and improving security performance to protect data integrity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24041147","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]],"date-time":"2024-02-09T08:12:03Z","timestamp":1707466323000},"page":"1147","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Security Information Transmission Method Based on DHR for Seafloor Observation Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7723-6885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fei","family":"Ying","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Embedded System and Service Computing, Ministry of Education, Shanghai 201804, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4301-394X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shengjie","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Embedded System and Service Computing, Ministry of Education, Shanghai 201804, China"},{"name":"School of Software Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Key Software Technologies for Smart City Perception and Planning, Ministry of Education, Shanghai 200003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3165-7051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jia","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Advanced Technology, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou 215123, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"321","article-title":"Research progress and development trend of seafloor observation network","volume":"34","author":"Fenghua","year":"2019","journal-title":"Bull.
