METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURE SESSION ESTABLISHMENT USING IDENTITY-BASED ENCRYPTION (VDTLS)

摘要

The inventive system for providing strong security for UDP communications in networks comprises a server, a client, and a secure communication protocol wherein authentication of client and server, either unilaterally or mutually, is performed using identity based encryption, the secure communication protocol preserves privacy of the client, achieves significant bandwidth savings, and eliminates overheads associated with certificate management. VDTLS also enables session mobility across multiple IP domains through its session resumption capability.
