Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for encryption and decryption, a programmable switch, and a computer program product. The method comprises receiving, at a programmable switch, encrypted data to be sent to a certain Internet of Things (IoT) device, wherein the encrypted data is encrypted using a public key of the programmable switch. The method further comprises decrypting the encrypted data using a private key of the programmable switch to obtain decrypted data, and then sending the decrypted data from the programmable switch to the IoT device. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the encryption and decryption operations of the IoT device can be transferred to the programmable switch for processing, and the programmable switch is used to help the IoT device perform encryption and decryption.
