Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE)
Abstract
This document defines Object Security for Constrained RESTful
Environments (OSCORE), a method for application-layer protection of
the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), using CBOR Object
Signing and Encryption (COSE). OSCORE provides end-to-end protection
between endpoints communicating using CoAP or CoAP-mappable HTTP.
OSCORE is designed for constrained nodes and networks supporting a
range of proxy operations, including translation between different
transport protocols.
Although an optional functionality of CoAP, OSCORE alters CoAP
options processing and IANA registration. Therefore, this document
updates RFC 7252.
