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 is introduced. The solution is twofold providing
a two-way authentication for resource-rich hardware (e.g., class 2
devices with ~50 KiB RAM and ~250 KiB ROM [RFC7228]) and for devices
with less resources (e.g., class 1 devices with ~10 KiB RAM and ~100
KiB ROM [RFC7228]). 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 for resource-rich devices 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 is the usage of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) as
assumed for devices with less resources.
