http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-oflynn-core-bootstrapping-00.txt Lots to do in here still. Note this was posted yesterday, but I didn't get around to forwarding the announcement. This updates the previous 6lowapp bootstrapping document a bit too, but is posted as a new I-D to move to the CoRE group. Regards, -Colin Filename: draft-oflynn-core-bootstrapping Version: 00 Title: Initial Configuration of Resource-Constrained Devices Creation_date: 2010-02-28 WG ID: Individual Submission Number_of_pages: 28 Abstract: The Internet of Things is marching its way towards completion. Nodes can use standards from the 6LoWPAN and ROLL WG to achieve IP connectivity. IEEE Standards ensure connectivity at lower layers for resource-constrained devices. Yet a central problem remains at a more basic layer without a suitable answer: how to initially configure the network. Without configuration the network never advances beyond a large box of nodes. Current solutions tend to be specific to a certain vendor, node type, or application. This document outlines exactly what problems are faced in solving this problem. General problems faced in any low-power wireless network are outlined first; followed by how these apply to bootstrapping. A selection of currently proposed techniques is presented. From these a more generic approach is presented, which can solve the problem for a wide range of situations. An emphasis is on performing this bootstrapping in a secure manner. This document does not cover operation of the network securely. This document does provide the basis for allowing the network to operate securely however, by providing standard methods for key exchanges and authentication.
