A Comparison of End-to-End Security Solutions for SCTP
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comparison of three different end-to-end security solutions for the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) is presented in this paper. The compared solutions are SCTP over IPsec, TLS over SCTP, and secure socket SCTP (SS-SCTP). The two former are standardized solutions, whereas the latter is a newly proposed solution that was designed to offer as much security differentiation support as possible using standardized solutions and mechanisms. The comparison focuses on three main issues: packet protection, security differentiation, and message complexity. SS-SCTP compares favorably in terms of offered security differentiation and message overhead. Confidentiality protection of SCTP control information is, however, only offered by SCTP over IPsec.

Secure End-to-End Transport over SCTP
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol is a new transport protocol initially developed to transport signaling messages over IP networks. The new features of SCTP make it also a suitable candidate for applications which nowadays use the standard transport protocols TCP and UDP. Many of these applications have strict requirements with respect to end-to-end security. Providing end-to-end securit...
متن کاملA Scheme of Primary Path Switching for Mobile Terminals using SCTP Handover
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport layer protocol for end-to-end data transport. SCTP can be used to support soft handover for mobile terminal with the help of the SCTP multi-homing feature. For SCTP handover, a mobile terminal is required to switch the primary path to one of the promising alternative paths. This paper proposes a new scheme of the primary path switch...

متن کاملDesign and Implementation of SCTP-aware DTLS
There is currently no widely accepted and deployed approach to provide security for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). A promising new approach is to use the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol, adding an encryption and authentication layer between transport and application protocol. The adaption for SCTP supports all features without compromising security or requiri...
