I have an embedded system with AES-128 implemented in hardware. There is very little flash/RAM and the (8-bit) CPU runs relatively slowly. Public key crypto isn't a viable option. This system is connected to the Internet and can have one or more unique AES keys programmed at manufacture.
Are there any standard protocols for securing a TCP socket using pre-shared symmetric keys?
Is it enough to just use a pre-shared key for AES-CBC over TCP? Is there a benefit to exchanging a unique session key (eg. AKEP2/Needham-Schroeder)
Thanks.
