Abstract:
The group communication is designed for the communication of Internet
of Things. A threat is identified in [I-D.ietf-core-groupcomm] that
current DTLS based approach is unicast oriented and there is no
supporting on group authentication feature. Unicast oriented
authentication will causing serious burden when a large number of
terminal nodes will be involved inevitably. In another aspect, some
terminals will own the same characteristics, such as owning same
features, in the same place, working in the same time, etc. With this
mechanism, all terminals can be authenticated together with little
signaling and calculation at the same time. It will reduce the
network burden and save time. This draft describes the security of
group authentication and an group authentication implementation
method for the Internet of things.
