Abstract:
Many approaches for securing Internet of Things (IoT) applications are nowadays based on the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS), but this may result in difficulties when upgrading the security algorithms, and this fact may shorten the life of IoT devices. To overcome these difficulties, this paper studies the possibility of using Secure Socket Shell (SSH) as a feasible alternative to secure communications in IoT applications based on HTTP and HTTP/2 protocols. A comparison between these schemes is performed, using SSH with TCP over 6loWPAN in an 802.15.4 network. The results show that our approach (called IoTsafe) not only provides a more robust and easy-to-update solution, but it can also offer an improvement of the overall performance in terms of goodput and energy consumption.
