The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Manifest Information Model for Firmware Updates in IoT Devices' (draft-ietf-suit-information-model-13.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Software Updates for Internet of Things Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benjamin Kaduk and Roman Danyliw. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-suit-information-model/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary Nothing worth noting. Consensus was straightforward, and a large number of participants provided feedback on earlier versions, as noted in the Acknowledgements section. Document Quality This document is a set of threats and requirements and as such is not implemented directly. There are implementations of draft-ietf-suit-manifest which is one specification that meets the requirements in this document. This document has gone through many reviews with incremental changes over time. Section 6 (acknowledgments) contains a long list of those who have reviewed this document over time.
