Title: Join Proxy for Bootstrapping of Constrained Network Elements Authors: Michael Richardson Peter van der Stok Panos Kampanakis Esko Dijk Name: draft-ietf-anima-constrained-join-proxy-16.txt Pages: 35 Dates: 2025-01-23 Abstract: This document extends the constrained Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructures (cBRSKI) onboarding protocol by adding a new network function, the constrained Join Proxy. This function can be implemented by a constrained node [RFC7228]. The goal of the Join Proxy is to help new constrained nodes ("Pledges") securely onboard into a new IP network using the cBRSKI protocol. It acts as a circuit proxy for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets that carry the onboarding messages. The solution is extendible to support other UDP-based onboarding protocols as well. The Join Proxy functionality is designed for use in constrained networks [RFC7228], including IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) [RFC4944] based mesh networks in which the onboarding authority server ("Registrar") may be multiple IP hops away from a Pledge. Despite this distance, the Pledge only needs to use link-local UDP communication to complete cBRSKI onboarding. Two modes of Join Proxy operation are defined, stateless and stateful, to allow implementers to make different trade-offs regarding resource usage, implementation complexity and security.
