Hi homenet folks, Barbara and I were chatting about the security work that may need to be done in the homenet wg in the coming months and here are our thoughts on that. We'd like to get folks' reactions to those:
- Does this sound roughly right or off the wall?
- If the former, do we think it's doable?
- If so, who'd like to help do the work etc.
It seems there are three possible work items for us
to consider:
1. Documenting the security considerations and any
security mechanisms needed for draft-ietf-homenet-simple-naming.
We assume that that work will be done as a normal part
of developing that draft, so is, or will be, in-hand.
2. We have this milestone in our charter:
"Nov 2018 - Submission of the perimeter security draft
to the IESG as Informational RFC"
- Do we still agree that this is a good milestone?
- If not, why not?
- If so, do we have people who are willing to work on
this?
3. HNCP and Babel define some security mechanisms that can
be used to secure those protocols, and more work is being
done at the moment in the babel WG on uses of HMAC and DTLS
with Babel.
- Does the homenet wg need to profile use of those
security mechanisms, for example to document a way to
establish initial keying material that we'd like to see
implemented when those protocols are used in home networks?
- If so, (and without yet getting into discussions about ToFU
etc) do we have people who are interested in working on
that?
If possible, it'd be great to get a sense of the WG's
ideas on the above before we construct an agenda for
our meeting in London in March (which is not that far
away now).
Thanks,
Barbara & Stephen
