Dear William, Maryam, Sandra, That sounds excellent!
I think we may spare 5 min on our agenda this Friday in SCHC. Would you like to do a short presentation of your work? Cheers, Alexander De: "William Atwood" <william.atw...@concordia.ca> À: "Anima WG" <anima@ietf.org>, "SCHC WG" <s...@ietf.org> Cc: "Maryam Hatami" <maryam.hat...@mail.concordia.ca>, "sandra cespedes" <sandra.cespe...@concordia.ca> Envoyé: Mardi 5 Novembre 2024 02:45:52 Objet: [Schc] Using SCHC and Autonomic Networking together To the members of the SCHC and ANIMA Working Groups: Many IoT devices are connected to their applications using simplified communications protocols, often with minimal security. There is an increasing need to merge IoT "islands" into the general Internet; this is becoming more feasible as IoT device capabilities have increased. Communications protocols targeted for the IoT space often have very small MTUs, and Ipv6 addresses are quite large. Static Context Header Compression (SCHC) provides a methodology for reducing the size of the IP headers, and providing the necessary fragmentation. The ANIMA specifications provide a methodology (based on autonomic networking) for securely managing devices. By combining a basic set of SCHC compression rules and autonomic networking, we have been able to demonstrate, for LoRaWAN (a widely used networking technology in the IoT space) that it is feasible to manage IoT devices securely. We call the basic rule set "SCHC Zero". This rule set, and the certificates required by ANIMA, are installed in the device by the original manufacturer. Once the IoT device is accepted as a member of an ANIMA domain, its rule set can be (securely) updated to correspond to the needs of the application that is to run on it. In addition, other updates can be performed (to basic software or applications) with the assurance that the device is properly identified. We have done the verification for both BRSKI and cBRSKI, and for LORaWAN spreading factors from 7 (best case) to 12 (worst case). A pre-print of a submitted paper is available to anyone who is interested: "A Framework for Secure Autonomic IoT Device Management in Constrained Networks". Please send your request to Bill Atwood or Sandra Cespedes. This work is based on the master's thesis of Maryam Hatami at Concordia University. A copy of the full thesis is also available.
