The IESG has received a request from the Software Updates for Internet of Things WG (suit) to consider the following document: - 'An Information Model for Firmware Updates in IoT Devices' <draft-ietf-suit-information-model-08.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2020-11-11. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Vulnerabilities with Internet of Things (IoT) devices have raised the need for a reliable and secure firmware update mechanism that is also suitable for constrained devices. Ensuring that devices function and remain secure over their service life requires such an update mechanism to fix vulnerabilities, to update configuration settings, as well as adding new functionality. One component of such a firmware update is a concise and machine- processable meta-data document, or manifest, that describes the firmware image(s) and offers appropriate protection. This document describes the information that must be present in the manifest. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-suit-information-model/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
