How can we strike a balance between security and performance in IoT devices?
By doing risk analysis and threat modeling. You would start by looking at the value of the asset you are wanting to protect (hardware, functionality, IP, etc) and then working out the balance from the threats and the cost of protecting them.
For example, I only used AES128 on one of my low powered devices because the data it is protecting only has value for a short period of time, so the lower security is deemed ‘good enough’.
If the data was more valuable, then I would have had to use a more powerful device to enable stronger encryption.
