This thread started by being about the problem of getting devices in the home to securely join the homenet. One sees a list of possible routers in the home, and identifies one that should belong, and tells your homenet that it should be allowed to join. (And the router also is told to join your network). The short-term exchange is where you discover the new router and do the out-of-band secured exchange to establish initial trust. Within that initial trust, longer-term credentials (asymmetric keys) are exchanged. -- Michael Richardson <mcr+i...@sandelman.ca>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
