Standards-based end-to-end IP security for the Internet of Things
René Hummen, Klaus Wehrle · 2013
Peer authentication and secure data transmission are vital aspects for many scenarios in the IP-based Internet of Things (IoT). To enable end-to-end security, recent research and standardization efforts focus on a number of IP security protocol variants for the IoT, most notably Datagram TLS (DTLS), the HIP Diet EXchange (DEX), and minimal IKEv2. In this dissertation outline, we present the main motivation for employing these protocol variants in constrained network environments and discuss the need to surpass the status quo. Most importantly, we highlight our identified challenges when employing these protocol variants in constrained network environments and provide a high-level overview of our previously proposed approaches to counteract the identified design-level protocol issues.
