Means for content security at the service level

Abstract

Existing approaches to security in networks such as the oneM2M network are limited. For example, content may only be protected if it is transmitted between mutually trusted entities. Here, the integrity and confidentiality of the content in the M2M network is protected. Such content may be "stationary" such that the content is stored at the hosting node. Only authorized entities can store and retrieve data stored at the hosting node, and the data can be protected from a confidentiality and integrity perspective.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 188,141, filed July 2, 2015, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 248,808, filed October 30, 2015, the entire contents of said U.S. Provisional Patent Application Incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] A typical communication session typically involves a persistent interactive exchange of information between two or more communicating entities (eg, devices, applications, etc.), which may also be referred to as nodes. In the current RESTful approach, there is no real persistent connection. Instead, communication is performed through on-demand request and response messages. For example, a communication session may be established at a certain point in time and may be torn down at a later point in time based on various circumstances (eg, after a session times out or when one of the entities decides to termina...
