Abstract:
The IP-based Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the pervasive
interaction of smart devices and people enabling new applications by
means of IP protocols. Traditional IP protocols will be further
complemented by 6LoWPAN and CoAP to make the IoT feasible on small
devices. Security and privacy are a must for such an environment. Due
to mobility, limited bandwidth, resource constraints, and new
communication topologies, existing security solutions need to be
adapted. We propose a security architecture for the IoT in order to
provide network access control to smart devices, the management of
keys and securing unicast/multicast communication. Devices are
authenticated and granted network access by means of a pre-shared key
(PSK) based security handshake protocol. The solution is based on
Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). Through the established
secure channels, keying materials, operational and security
parameters are distributed, enabling devices to derive session keys
and group keys. The solution relies on the DTLS Record Layer for the
protection of unicast and multicast data flows. We have prototyped
and evaluated the security architecture. The DTLS architecture allows
for easier interaction and interoperability with the Internet due to
the extensive use of TLS. However, it exhibits performance issues
constraining its deployment in some network topologies and hence
would require further optimizations.
