Abstract:
Constrained nodes are small devices which are limited in terms of
processing power, memory, non-volatile storage and transmission
capacity. Due to these constraints, commonly used security protocols
are not easily applicable. Nevertheless, an authentication and
authorization solution is needed to ensure the security of these
devices.
Due to the limitations of the constrained nodes it is especially
important to develop a light-weight security solution which is
adjusted to the relevant security objectives of each participating
party in this environment. Necessary security measures must be
identified and applied where needed.
This document gives an overview of the necessary terminology and
introduces the actors in an architecture as guidance for the
development of authentication and authorization solutions for
constrained environments. The actors represent the relationships
between the logical functional entities involved.
We also present a problem description for authentication and
authorization in constrained-node networks, i.e. networks where some
devices have severe constraints on memory, processing, power and
communication bandwidth.
