Hello Peter,

My understanding of the IETF 97 meeting outcome is that Phase 1 solution will be anima-compatible i.e., it will provide zero-touch bootstrapping with manufacturer-installed certificate as the start state and locally relevant credential as the end state. At the moment, I believe that Michael’s proposal for Phase 1 is quite 6tisch agnostic and it can be used in other scenarios. 

However, the end state of Phase 2 are 6tisch-specific key(s) (cf. minimal draft) and temporary network identifiers that we tackle in the minimal-security draft. This builds upon existing work in 6tisch and will be needed no matter what common bootstrapping approach is used.
