Abstract:
In this draft the first key idea for a full two-way authentication
security scheme for the Internet of Things (IoT) based on existing
Internet standards, specifically the Datagram Transport Layer
Security (DTLS) protocol, is introduced. By relying on an
established standard, existing implementations, engineering
techniques, and security infrastructure can be reused, which enables
an easy security uptake. The proposed security scheme is, therefore,
based on RSA, the most widely used public key cryptography algorithm.
It is designed to work over standard communication stacks that offer
UDP/IPv6 networking for Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks
(6LoWPANs). RSA is a bulky solution at the moment but shows that it
is possible using it on constraint devices for security purposes. An
optimization would be to use elliptic curve cryptography. For sure
the proposed handshake will stay the same.
