Hi everyone, Thanks to those 30 or so people who participated in a side meeting just after OPSAWG on IoT onboarding. There was pretty clear agreement that there is at least some fragmentation occurring in onboarding solutions, leading to some confusion amongst some of the players. In some cases, like consumer, some didn't care that much, but everyone seemed to see the problem in enterprise and industrial. A few notes:
* “Onboarding” means different things at different layers. As we move
forward we are primarily thinking about network onboarding here, but
if the credential used for network onboarding can be used for
application onboarding, that's a nice feature.
* This matter spans multiple standards organizations. In the meeting
yesterday we had participants from at least five, for example.
* We agreed to try to flesh out a wiki that talks about all the
different mechanisms. Some of these are cataloged in various
places, and some are not. We are not at this point limiting
ourselves to just IP.
* We also want to try to articulate architectural requirements.
* As we build out the inventory of mechanisms we will seek to identify
common architectural components.
* We'll try to get far along on the wiki for a December conference
call just to see how well we did, and to talk about next steps.
* The activity is entirely open. I've asked for a mailing list to be
created, and I have created a github repository known, funnily
enough, as "iot-onboarding".
If you're interested in this activity, please feel free to join the
mailing list when it is announced or otherwise add to the repository.
If you were in the room and want to add your views, great.
