Introduction This document analyzes and compares per-packet message size overheads when using different security protocols to secure CoAP over UPD [RFC7252] and TCP [I-D.ietf-core-coap-tcp-tls]. The analyzed security protocols are DTLS 1.2 [RFC6347], DTLS 1.3 [I-D.rescorla-tls-dtls13], TLS 1.2 [RFC5246], TLS 1.3 [I-D.ietf-tls-tls13], and OSCORE [I-D.ietf-core-object-security]. The DTLS and TLS record layers are analyzed with and without compression. DTLS are analyzed with two different alternatives ([RFC7400] and [raza-6lo-compressed-dtls]) for header compression as well as with and without Connection ID [I-D.rescorla-tls-dtls-connection-id]. Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 2] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 2. Overhead of Security Protocols To enable comparison, all the overhead calculations in this section use AES-CCM with a tag length of 8 bytes, a plaintext of 6 bytes, and the sequence number '05'. This follows the example in [RFC7400], Figure 16. 2.1. DTLS 2.1.1. DTLS 1.2 This section analyzes the overhead of DTLS 1.2 [RFC6347]. The nonce follow the strict profiling given in [RFC7925]. This example is taken directly from [RFC7400], Figure 16. . DTLS 1.2 Record Layer (35 bytes, 29 bytes overhead): 17 fe fd 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 05 00 16 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 05 ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 Content type: 17 Version: fe fd Epoch: 00 01 Sequence number: 00 00 00 00 00 05 Length: 00 16 Nonce: 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 05 Ciphertext: ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 DTLS 1.2 gives 29 bytes overhead. 2.1.2. DTLS 1.2 with 6LoWPAN-GHC This section analyzes the overhead of DTLS 1.2 [RFC6347] when compressed with [RFC7400]. The compression was done with [OlegHahm-ghc]. Note that the compressed overhead is dependent on the parameters epoch, sequence number, and length. The following is only an example. Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 3] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 Note that the sequence number '01' used in [RFC7400], Figure 15 gives an exceptionally small overhead that is not representative. Note that this header compression is not available when DTLS is exchanged over transports that do not use 6LoWPAN together with 6LoWPAN-GHC. Compressed DTLS 1.2 Record Layer (22 bytes, 16 bytes overhead): b0 c3 03 05 00 16 f2 0e ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 Compressed DTLS 1.2 Record Layer Header and Nonce: b0 c3 03 05 00 16 f2 0e Ciphertext: ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 When compressed with 6LoWPAN-GHC, DTLS 1.2 with the above parameters (epoch, sequence number, length) gives 16 bytes overhead. 2.1.3. DTLS 1.2 with raza-6lo-compressed-dtls This section analyzes the overhead of DTLS 1.2 [RFC6347] when compressed with [raza-6lo-compressed-dtls]. Note that the compressed overhead is dependent on the parameters epoch and sequence number. The following is only an example.

The only change compared to DTLS 1.2 is that the DTLS 1.3 record layer does not have an explicit nonce. DTLS 1.3 Record Layer (27 bytes, 21 bytes overhead): 17 fe fd 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 05 00 0e ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 Content type: 17 Version: fe fd Epoch: 00 01 Sequence number: 00 00 00 00 00 05 Length: 00 0e Ciphertext: ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 DTLS 1.3 gives 21 bytes overhead. 2.1.5. DTLS 1.3 with 6LoWPAN-GHC This section analyzes the overhead of DTLS 1.3 [I-D.rescorla-tls-dtls13] when compressed with [RFC7400] [OlegHahm-ghc]. Note that the overhead is dependent on the parameters epoch, sequence number, and length. The following is only an example. Note that this header compression is not available when DTLS is exchanged over transports that do not use 6LoWPAN together with 6LoWPAN-GHC.

Note that the compressed overhead is dependent on the parameters epoch and sequence number. The following is only an example. Note that this header compression is not available when DTLS is exchanged over transports that do not use 6LoWPAN together with raza- 6lo-compressed-dtls. Compressed DTLS 1.3 Record Layer (19 bytes, 13 bytes overhead): 90 17 01 00 05 ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 NHC 90 Compressed DTLS 1.3 Record Layer Header and Nonce: 17 01 00 05 c3 03 05 00 16 f2 0e Ciphertext: ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 When compressed with raza-6lo-compressed-dtls, DTLS 1.3 with the above parameters (epoch, sequence number) gives 13 bytes overhead. Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 6] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 2.2. DTLS with Connection ID This section analyzes the overhead of DTLS with Connection ID [I-D.rescorla-tls-dtls-connection-id]. The overhead calculations in this section uses Connection ID = '42'. DTLS with a Connection ID = '' (the empty string) is equal to DTLS without Connection ID. 2.2.1. DTLS 1.2 with Connection ID This section analyzes the overhead of DTLS 1.2 [RFC6347] with Connection ID [I-D.rescorla-tls-dtls-connection-id].

Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 7] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 Note that the compressed overhead is dependent on the parameters epoch, sequence number, Connection ID, and length. The following is only an example. Note that the sequence number '01' used in [RFC7400], Figure 15 gives an exceptionally small overhead that is not representative. Note that this header compression is not available when DTLS is exchanged over transports that do not use 6LoWPAN together with 6LoWPAN-GHC. Compressed DTLS 1.2 Record Layer (23 bytes, 17 bytes overhead): b0 c3 04 05 42 00 16 f2 0e ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 Compressed DTLS 1.2 Record Layer Header and Nonce: b0 c3 04 05 42 00 16 f2 0e Ciphertext: ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 When compressed with 6LoWPAN-GHC, DTLS 1.2 with the above parameters (epoch, sequence number, Connection ID, length) gives 17 bytes overhead. 2.2.3. DTLS 1.3 with Connection ID This section analyzes the overhead of DTLS 1.3 [I-D.rescorla-tls-dtls13] with Connection ID [I-D.rescorla-tls-dtls-connection-id]. Note that the overhead is dependent on the parameter Connection ID. The following is only an example. Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 8] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 DTLS 1.3 Record Layer (28 bytes, 22 bytes overhead): 17 fe fd 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 05 42 00 0e ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 Content type: 17 Version: fe fd Epoch: 00 01 Sequence number: 00 00 00 00 00 05 Connection ID: 42 Length: 00 0e Ciphertext: ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 DTLS 1.3 gives 22 bytes overhead. 2.2.4.

TLS 2.3.1. TLS 1.2 This section analyzes the overhead of TLS 1.2 [RFC5246]. The changes compared to DTLS 1.2 is that the TLS 1.2 record layer does not have epoch and sequence number, and that the version is different. TLS 1.2 Record Layer (27 bytes, 21 bytes overhead): 17 03 03 00 16 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 Content type: 17 Version: 03 03 Length: 00 16 Nonce: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 Ciphertext: ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 TLS 1.2 gives 21 bytes overhead. 2.3.2.

TLS 1.3 This section analyzes the overhead of TLS 1.3 [I-D.ietf-tls-tls13]. The change compared to TLS 1.2 is that the TLS 1.3 record layer uses a different version. TLS 1.3 Record Layer (27 bytes, 21 bytes overhead): 17 03 01 00 16 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 Content type: 17 Version: 03 01 Length: 00 16 Nonce: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 Ciphertext: ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 TLS 1.3 gives 21 bytes overhead. 2.3.4.

Note that the overhead is dependent on the parameters epoch, sequence number, and length. The following is only an example. Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 11] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 Note that this header compression is not available when TLS is exchanged over transports that do not use 6LoWPAN together with 6LoWPAN-GHC.

OSCORE This section analyzes the overhead of OSCORE [I-D.ietf-core-object-security]. Note that the overhead is dependent on the included CoAP Option numbers as well as the length of the OSCORE parameters Sender ID and sequence number. Note that Sender ID = '' (empty string) can only be used by one client per server. The examples below assume that the original messages does not have payload (note that this does not affect the overhead). The below calculation Option Delta = '9', Sender ID = '' (empty string), and Sequence Number = '05', and is only an example. Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 12] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 OSCORE Request (19 bytes, 13 bytes overhead): 92 09 05 ff ec ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 CoAP Option Delta and Length 92 Option Value (flag byte and sequence number): 09 05 Payload Marker ff Ciphertext (including encrypted code): ec ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 The below calculation Option Delta = '9', Sender ID = '42', and Sequence Number = '05', and is only an example. OSCORE Request (20 bytes, 14 bytes overhead): 93 09 05 42 ff ec ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 CoAP Option Delta and Length 93 Option Value (flag byte, sequence number, and Sender ID): 09 05 42 Payload Marker ff Ciphertext (including encrypted code): ec ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 The below calculation uses Option Delta = '9' and is only an example. Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 13] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 OSCORE Response (17 bytes, 11 bytes overhead): 90 ff ec ae a0 15 56 67 92 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 CoAP Delta and Option Length: 90 Option Value - Payload Marker ff Ciphertext (including encrypted code): ec ae a0 15 56 67 92 ICV: 4d ff 8a 24 e4 cb 35 b9 OSCORE with the above parameters gives 13-14 bytes overhead for requests and 11 bytes overhead for responses. Unlike DTLS and TLS, OSCORE has much smaller overhead for responses than requests. 3. Overhead with Different Parameters The DTLS overhead is dependent on the parameter Connection ID. The following overheads apply for all Connection IDs with the same length. The compression overhead (GHC) is dependent on the parameters epoch, sequence number, Connection ID, and length. The following overheads should be representative for sequence numbers and Connection IDs with the same length. The compression overhead (raza-6lo-compressed-dtls) is dependent on the length of the parameters epoch and sequence number. The following overheads apply for all sequence numbers with the same length. The OSCORE overhead is dependent on the included CoAP Option numbers as well as the length of the OSCORE parameters Sender ID and sequence number. The following overheads apply for all sequence numbers and Sender IDs with the same length.

Summary DTLS 1.2 has quite a large overhead as it uses an explicit sequence number and an explicit nonce. DTLS 1.3, TLS 1.2, and TLS 1.3 have significantly less (but not small) overhead. Both DTLS compression methods provides very good compression. raza- 6lo-compressed-dtls achieves slightly better compression but requires state. GHC is stateless but provides slightly worse compression. As DTLS 1.3 uses the same version number as DTLS 1.2, both GHC and raza- 6lo-compressed-dtls works well also for DTLS 1.3. Mattsson Expires May 15, 2018 [Page 15] Internet-Draft CoAP Security Overhead November 2017 The Generic Header Compression (6LoWPAN-GHC) can in addition to DTLS 1.2 handle DTLS 1.3, DTLS with Connection ID, TLS 1.2, and TLS 1.3. The Generic Header Compression (6LoWPAN-GHC) works very well for Connection ID and the overhead seems to increase exactly with the length of the Connection ID (which is optimal). The compression of TLS is not as good as the compression of DTLS (as the static dictionary is more or less a DTLS record layer). Similar compression levels as for DTLS could be achieved also for TLS, but this would require different static dictionaries for each version of TLS (as TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 uses different version numbers). GHC works as good for DTLS 1.3 as for DTLS 1.2 as the version number is the same. raza-6lo-compressed-dtls is not able to handle DTLS with Connection ID or TLS, all extensions requires an updated mechanism. The header compression is not available when (D)TLS is exchanged over transports that do not use 6LoWPAN together with 6LoWPAN-GHC or raza- 6lo-compressed-dtls. OSCORE has much lower overhead than DTLS and TLS. The overhead of OSCORE is smaller than DTLS over 6LoWPAN with compression, and this small overhead is achieved even on deployments without 6LoWPAN or 6LoWPAN without DTLS compression. OSCORE is lightweight because it makes use of some excellent features in CoAP, CBOR, and COSE. 5. Security Considerations This document is purely informational. 6.
