Securing UDT using TLS/DTLS
C-DAC Hyderabad
This document describes about providing security to UDP Based Data Transfer (UDT) protocol. UDT is application level protocol built on the top of UDP, which effectively utilizes bandwidth in the high speed network as compared with TCP. UDT relies on the above layer for security because of absence of in-build security mechanisms. This document proposes the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS)/Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) for securing the UDT protocol.
