Abstract:
The Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) protocol provides authentication,
confidentiality, integrity, data-origin authentication and anti-
replay. Currently, IKEv2 is mainly used as a control channel to
negotiate IPsec SA(s). IPsec is not well suited to provide transport
layer security for applications as it resides at the network layer
and most of the IPsec implementations require integration into
operating systems making it difficult to deploy. IPsec uses
different sessions for control and data traffic which is not NAT and
load balancer friendly. TLS/DTLS, the other popular security
mechanism to provide the above security services does not mandate
mutual peer authentication and Diffie Hellman exchange.
This document describes an IKEv2 based lightweight secure data
communication protocol and a way to provide transport layer security
for UDP client/server applications. The protocol provides integrity
protected encryption and integrity-only protection based on
application needs. As most of the IoT applications are UDP based,
IKEv2 can be used for key management as well secure data
communication in IoT due to its simplicity, scalability,
lightweightedness and ease of deployment.
