Minimal Security Framework for 6TiSCH
draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal-security-13
Abstract
This document describes the minimal framework required for a new
device, called "pledge", to securely join a 6TiSCH (IPv6 over the
TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e) network. The framework requires that
the pledge and the JRC (join registrar/coordinator, a central
entity), share a symmetric key. How this key is provisioned is out
of scope of this document. Through a single CoAP (Constrained
Application Protocol) request-response exchange secured by OSCORE
(Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments), the pledge
requests admission into the network and the JRC configures it with
link-layer keying material and other parameters. The JRC may at any
time update the parameters through another request-response exchange
secured by OSCORE. This specification defines the Constrained Join
Protocol and its CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) data
structures, and configures the rest of the 6TiSCH communication stack
for this join process to occur in a secure manner. Additional
security mechanisms may be added on top of this minimal framework.
