A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8387 Title: Practical Considerations and Implementation Experiences in Securing Smart Object Networks Author: M. Sethi, J. Arkko, A. Keranen, H. Back Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: May 2018 Mailbox: mohit@piuha.net, jari.arkko@piuha.net, ari.keranen@ericsson.com, heidi.back@nokia.com Pages: 33 Characters: 86278 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-lwig-crypto-sensors-06.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8387 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8387 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 resource-constrained devices, and presents some preliminary experiences with those libraries for message signing on resource- constrained devices. Lastly, the memo discusses trade-offs involving different types of security approaches. This document is a product of the Light-Weight Implementation Guidance Working Group of the IETF.
