Abstract

This paper presents a concept where applications are aware of security services in the low data rate (LDR) networks. Further, the paper compares the suitability of different security protocols and crypto-algorithms taking into account the security requirements and architectural issues for different LDR scenarios and finally present a new security concept ‘An Adaptive Security’ with the appropriate security protocols and crypto-algorithms for LDR networks.
