Abstract
This chapter introduces the first fully implemented two-way authentication security scheme for Internet-of-Things (IoT) based on existing Internet standards, specifically the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. By relying on an established standard, existing implementations, engineering techniques, and security infrastructure can be reused, which enables an easy security uptake. The proposed security scheme uses two public key cryptography algorithms, RSA (Rivest, Shamir und Adleman) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), tailored for the resource heterogeneous nature of IoT devices. The two-way authentication solution presented is designed to work over standard communication stacks that offer UDP/IPv6 networking for Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (LoWPANs). A prototype implementation of DTLS is presented here in the context of a system architecture, and the scheme’s feasibility (low overheads and high interoperability) is demonstrated through extensive evaluations on the DTLS-supporting platform OPAL as clusterhead with children of different IoT hardware platforms.
