Hello Xiaoyang.

There is no bluetooth support yet in IBR-DTN and, as far as I know, nobody is working on that.

You mentioned “security interfaces”. Can you elaborate on that? I am asking because there is already a security concept within IBR-DTN for end-to-end confidentially, integrity and authenticity (see Bundle Security Protocol). In addition, there is support for Certificate Authority-based authentication and encryption for peer-to-peer connections using TCP/TLS. What kind of security requirement do you miss?

Kind regards

Johannes Morgenroth

Dear All,

Recently, we launched a project to develop a set of the security interfaces using secret sharing method to enhance the security of DTN based on IBR-DTN.

Since the project may use the Bluetooth as the communication protocol, we want to figure out whether there is any ongoing group developing the Bluetooth convergence layer adapter?

Hello Xiaoyang,

If you just need to use Bluetooth as transport, but do not need any deep integration or dynamic with BT this might already be possible out of the box using the BT NAP profile. This basically allows IP networks over a BT connection (this is usually used for Bluetooth Tethering). For example on {.}Ubuntu platforms this already works out of the box using „Bluman“ and „Networkmanager“.

When working on security, note that there is some work going on developing an updated version of the Bundle Security protocol in the DTN WG (https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/90/dtn.html). The current version is found here https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dtn-bpsec-00 So far nobody has implemented it for iBR-DTN (or any other platform for that matter), but when researching/developing any new security features, it is probably a good idea to check how well the align with/complement the new specification
