Power Consumption: Nanoscale devices often have limited power sources. AES, depending on the key size, can be computationally intensive, thus consuming significant power. Processing Capability: Nanoscale processors may not be as powerful as their larger counterparts, making it challenging to perform the complex calculations required by AES. Heat Dissipation: The computational processes involved in AES can generate heat, which can be detrimental to delicate nanodevices.
