Abstract:
UDT has emerged as a next generation protocol that effectively utilizes the bandwidth in Long Fat Networks (LFN). Lack of security features in UDT protocol is a major concern which has drawn scientist to explore various security mechanisms. As transport layer security mechanisms are mostly widely accepted mechanism to provide security to data in terms of confidentiality, integrity and Authentication, we have explored various standard mechanisms to provide security to UDT protocol. Through this paper, we propose an approach to integrate Secure Socket Layer with UDT protocol and present detailed analysis report of overhead involved and performance of secured UDT in an emulated testbed.
