The importance of securing communications on the Internet of Things (IoT) cannot be overstated. This is especially the case in light of the increasing proliferation of IoT devices and instances, as well as the growing dependence on their usage. Meanwhile, there have recently been mounting concerns over a wide array of vulnerabilities in IoT communications. The objective of this work is to address constraints in IoT devices that are “resource-constrained”, which are devices that are limited in terms of computing, energy, communication, or range capabilities, whether in terms of nominal or temporal limitations. Specifically, we propose a framework for resource-aiding constrained devices to facilitate secure communication. Without loss of generalization, the framework’s viability is illustrated by focusing on a group of security functions that utilize message authentication codes, which is a strongly representative example of resource-intensive security functions. Aspects of the framework are further demonstrated in processing cores commonly used in commercial IoT devices.

资源受限的IoT设备的安全通信。

确保物联网（IoT）上的通信安全的重要性不可低估。鉴于IoT设备和实例的激增以及对它们的使用的依赖性日益增加，尤其如此。同时，近来，人们越来越关注物联网通信中的一系列漏洞。这项工作的目的是解决“资源受限”的物联网设备中的约束，这些设备无论在名义上还是在时间上都受到计算，能源，通信或范围能力的限制。具体而言，我们提出了一种资源受限设备的框架，以促进安全通信。不失一般性，通过关注利用消息身份验证代码的一组安全功能来说明该框架的可行性，这是资源密集型安全功能的一个非常有代表性的示例。该框架的各个方面在商用IoT设备中常用的处理核心中得到了进一步证明。
