Abstract:
Considerable effort has been spent on securing existing Internet
standard authentication and authorization protocols such as TLS,
Kerberos, and OAuth, among others. It would save a lot of effort if
these protocols could be profiled to be feasible for constrained
environments, with some easily obtainable security considerations.
However, these protocols were typically not designed with constrained
environments in mind, so profiling of an existing protocol may result
in a far from optimal solution. Moreover they are not necessarily
complying with their original design objectives outside their
intended domain of application.
This document examines the impact of typical characteristics of
security protocols (e.g. cryptographic calculations, number and size
of protocol messages) in a constrained environment. The goal is to
provide decision support when different resource usage optimizations
are possible in the adaptation of a security protocol for this
setting.
