Abstract:
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a widely used security protocol
that offers communication security services at the transport layer.
The initial design of TLS was focused on the protection of
applications running on top of the Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP), and was a good match for securing the Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP). The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), as
a more recent connection-oriented transport protocol, also benefits
from TLS support. Subsequent standardization efforts lead to the
publication of the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol,
which allows TLS payloads to be exchanged on top of the User Datagram
Protocol (UDP), and the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP).
TLS can be customized in a variety of ways and every feature has a
certain cost. To offer input for implementers and system architects
this document provides guidance for the usage of TLS and DTLS
features for smart objects and constraint node networks.
