[tinydtls-dev] RETINUES - Really Tiny UDP Encryption Standard

[Frank Gerlach <Frank_Gerlach@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello list,

here at EPAM Low Level Programming Department we have created an ESP8266-based IoT sensor/actor system.

 

After adding lots of features (several sensors, actor, lwm2m support, deep sleep, command interpreter,…) we wanted to add tinydtls cryptography.

 

Doing so we reached the limit of code the linker could fit into the binary to be flashed into the device. IoT devices are in many cases inherently limited, because of power consumption and/or cost per device.

 

This led us to devise an alternative cipher standard which needs about one order of magnitude less code. We think this will also contribute to much better security, because less code means less code to review.

 

Please find my  proposal here: https://github.com/FrankGerlach/RETINUES/wiki

 

Comments are of course welcome.

 

Kind regards
