Content security at service layer

Abstract

Existing approaches to security within network, for instance one M2M networks, are limited. For example, content might only be protected while the content is in transit between entities that trust each other. Here, the integrity and the confidentiality of content in an M2M network are protected. Such content may be "at rest," such that the content is stored at a hosting node. Only authorized entities may store and retrieve the data that is stored at the hosting node, and the data may be protected from a confidentiality perspective and an 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...
