Abstract:
TLS and DTLS connections generally rely on a PKI, a shared secret, or
endpoint fingerprints for endpoint authentication. This document
describes an authentication mechanism which instead generates a
"short authentication string" (SAS) as an emergent property of the
connection. The SAS can then be verified via an external channel in
order to authenticate the connection.
