[Anima] plans for draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

Hi, I'm finally watching the IETF108 ANIMA WG recording.

WG Documents slide asks about draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher.
As I said in email to the chairs, I was in secdispatch for the first half of
the meeting with idevid-considerations, so I didn't speak up.

1) draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher has suffered for lack of love for a
   few months.  Primarily this is due to BRSKI taking all my time, and my
   primary co-author, Peter, looking for work.
   It was never going to progress faster than BRSKI anyway.

2) The example COSE signed CBOR format vouchers in the document were *NOT*
   validated by others, and so I needed to revise them.
   I have, as of a week ago, started to again figure out what is going on
   with that, and I expect to update the document in the next week or so.

3) There is also draft-vanderstok-anima-constrained-join-proxy, btw,
   which I need to update.


As for *merging*.
I never exactly suggested that.
What I suggested was that brski-async-enroll might wish to dispense with CMS-sign-JSON,
and just use COSE-signed-CBOR, over CoAP.

The reason for doing this is because if the process will be driven by a proxy-registrar
(maybe not the correct term: the commissioning device), then it might well
want to be able to do a CoAP multicast resource discovery in order to find
all the devices which are available.

If some devices might be commissioned via BTLE or NFC, then using the smaller
protocols over that might also make a lot of sense.
