In one embodiment, a system includes a networking device including a network interface to receive network packets having headers including datagram transport layer security (DTLS) headers from a remote device over a packet data network, packet processing circuitry to identify first packets of the received packets for DTLS processing in the packet processing circuitry, identify second packets of the received packets to bypass DTLS processing in the packet processing circuitry and to be provided to software to perform DTLS processing on the second packets, and perform DTLS processing on the first packets, and a host interface to provide the DTLS processed first packets to the software, and provide the second packets to the software to perform DTLS processing on the second packets.

In one embodiment, a secure challenge-response method includes requesting respective token challenges from devices, receiving the respective token challenges from the devices, providing the respective token challenges to a signing server, receiving from the signing server a signature of the respective token challenges signed with a private key of the signing server, and providing to a given device of the devices a request to perform an operation, the request including the signature and the respective token challenges.

A method for communication includes provisioning each node in a network with a respective set of two or more network addresses. Each node in succession is assigned a respective network address from the respective provisioned set that has not been assigned for use by any preceding node. Upon finding for a given node that all the network addresses in the respective provisioned set were assigned to preceding nodes, the preceding nodes are searched to identify a candidate node having an additional network address in the respective provisioned set, other than the assigned respective network address, that was not yet assigned to any of the nodes. The additional network address is assigned to the candidate node instead of the respective network address that was previously assigned to the candidate node, and the assigning of the network addresses to the nodes in the succession resumes following the candidate node.
