Abstract

An E2EE is possible to implement on resource constraint microcontrollers using a high-level programming language. A secure protocol based on a well-known key-exchange technique Diffie-Hellman-Merkle and TLS1.3 style session-key negotiation is implemented and tested. Large primes are not needed in the modified DHM key-exchange protocol \(x^b\ (\textrm{mod}\ P) \equiv y^a\ (\textrm{mod}\ P)\). MicroPython modules are developed to provide identification, authentication, and privacy of messages between two communicating end-points. The limiting factor of large integers arithmetic in Python is the amount of runtime time RAM available. An end-to-end is an application-level protocol and thus can be used for any form of message exchange.
