Internet Of Secure Elements Concepts And Applications. : Invited Paper

Abstract

This paper introduces internet of secure elements paradigm and some applications. The main idea is to integrate TLS1.3 server in secure element (TLS-SE). These servers are identified by their server name (SN) attributes. On the client side authentication procedures are optionally hosted in dedicated identity module (TLS-IM). In internet of things context, TLS-SE stacks enhance object security. For example TLS-SE provides cryptographic resources (keystore), or interacts with sensors and actuators. We present grids of secure elements, optionally associated to secure element processors (SEP), called internet of secure elements servers (IOSE). Such server supports on-demand TLS-SE deployment; it also connect TLS-SE devices to internet. Finally we detail a procedure for transferring exclusive property of TLS-SE server to its user.
