The IESG has received a request from the DTLS In Constrained Environments WG (dice) to consider the following document: - 'TLS/DTLS Profiles for the Internet of Things' <draft-ietf-dice-profile-14.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2015-09-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract A common design pattern in Internet of Things (IoT) deployments is the use of a constrained device that collects data via sensor or controls actuators for use in home automation, industrial control systems, smart cities and other IoT deployments. This document defines a Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram TLS (DTLS) 1.2 profile that offers communications security for this data exchange thereby preventing eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. The lack of communication security is a common vulnerability in Internet of Things products that can easily be solved by using these well-researched and widely deployed Internet security protocols. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dice-profile/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dice-profile/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
