Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the enabler for new innovations in several domains. It allows the connection of digital services with real, physical entities. These entities are devices of different categories and range in size from large machinery to tiny sensors. In the latter case, devices are typically characterized by limited resources in terms of computational power, available memory and sometimes limited power supply. As a consequence, the use of security algorithms requires expert knowledge in order for them to work within the limited resources. That means to find a suitable configuration for the algorithms to perform properly on the device. On the other side, there is the desire to protect valuable assets as strong as possible. Usually, security goals are captured in security policies, but they do not consider resource availability on the involved device and their consumption while executing security algorithms. This paper presents a resource aware information exchange model and a generation tool that uses high-level security policies as input. The model forms the conceptual basis for an automated security configuration recommendation system.
