Abstract
Security is essential to enable the Internet of Things (IoT). Key security measures that work well on the traditional Internet, however, do not adapt well to the IoT. Specifically, authentication and/or authorization based on certificates provided by certificate authorities cannot, in current form, scale to the expected 50 billion devices. And widely used encryption technologies for the Internet require too much energy for resource-constrained devices. This paper describes a secure network architecture with key distribution mechanisms using local, automated authorization entities. The architecture provides security guarantees while addressing IoT-specific issues including resource constraints. By evaluation, we show that the architecture's overhead scales sub- linearly and works well with resource-constrained devices.
