ABSTRACT
This work presents FDTLS, a security framework that combines storage and network/communication-level security for resource limited Internet of Things (IoT) devices using Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). While coalescing storage and networking security scheme can reduce redundent and unnecessary operations, we identify security- and system-level challenges that can occur when applying DTLS. FDTLS addresses these challenges by employing asymmetric key generation, a virtual peer, and header reduction-based storage optimization. Our results obtained using a Contiki-based implementation on OpenMote platforms show that compared to using storage and networking security separately, FDTLS can reduce the latency of packet transmission responses and also contribute to saving energy.

6LoWPAN Compressed DTLS for CoAP
DCOSS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE 8th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor SystemsReal deployments of the IoT require security. CoAP is being standardized as an application layer protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). CoAP proposes to use DTLS to provide end-to-end security to protect the IoT. DTLS is a heavyweight protocol and ...
DTLS based security and two-way authentication for the Internet of Things
In this paper, we introduce the first fully implemented two-way authentication security scheme for the Internet of Things (IoT) based on existing Internet standards, specifically the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. By relying on an ...
Security Analysis of DTLS Structure and Its Application to Secure Multicast Communication
FIT '14: Proceedings of the 2014 12th International Conference on Frontiers of Information TechnologyTransport Layer Security (TLS) provides reliable and in-order communication. However due to its retransmission behavior it causes delay that is inappropriate for real time applications. Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) can be used as an ...
