Comparison of CoAP Security Protocols
draft-ietf-lwig-security-protocol-comparison-04
Abstract
This document analyzes and compares the sizes of key exchange flights
and the per-packet message size overheads when using different
security protocols to secure CoAP. The analyzed security protocols
are DTLS 1.2, DTLS 1.3, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.3, EDHOC, OSCORE, and Group
OSCORE. The DTLS and TLS record layers are analyzed with and without
6LoWPAN-GHC compression. DTLS is analyzed with and without
Connection ID.
