The IESG has received a request from the Light-Weight Implementation Guidance WG (lwig) to consider the following document: - 'Practical Considerations and Implementation Experiences in Securing Smart Object Networks' <draft-ietf-lwig-crypto-sensors-05.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 ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-02-19. 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 This memo describes challenges associated with securing resource- constrained smart object devices. The memo describes a possible deployment model where resource-constrained devices sign message objects, discusses the availability of cryptographic libraries for small devices and presents some preliminary experiences with those libraries for message signing on small devices. Lastly, the memo discusses trade-offs involving different types of security approaches. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lwig-crypto-sensors/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lwig-crypto-sensors/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
