An Enhanced Framework Model for Secure Key Management in Stream Control Transmission Protocol
Abstract
During the past few years computers were single-homed and hence TCP/IP protocols were used and nowadays there is a need for mobility, therefore new protocols were designed to support the mobility and multi-homing facilities. The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [6] is a newly designed youngest transport layer protocol which provides services similar to TCP -plus a set of advanced features to utilize the enhanced capabilities of modern IP networks and to support increased application requirements. All major operating systems used in nowadays have SCTP implementation. In this paper, we focus on the important features, security issues and an enhanced frame work model for secure key management and thereby providing a secure data transmission in SCTP communication. We also analyzed the throughput performance of our proposed method with the basic SCTP communication
