To put a bit more meat on Peter's condensed list... I put forward a proposal to sever the ties between River and Jini itself, and instead re-focus River to be a a secured network transport, with optional discovery. Starting point is of course the JERI module and Peter's work to secure this transpo

Utilising most of the existing discovery code, we could use ipv6 multicast, for an exported remote object (service). Then create a new class called RemoteDiscovery to discover a service dynamically, based on a nameĀ  So you export a service and it becomes dynamically discoverable. It's not goin

I look at this as open source for secure IoT. The need for security in IoT has been aptly demonstrated by recent DDOS attaches based on compromised devices. I do feel that interop is critical to success here. Do we have any lurkers from the IoT manufacturing space here? People or companies will

I think for this to work it is necessary to find out where IoT people hang out, and discuss it there. Do they already have a plan for a secure framework? As a potential IoT user I'm looking for two things: 1. Security. 2. Server independence. I don't want my thermostat to stop working if a s

"IoT" is a term that for this discussion is a bit too wide. The "thermostat" runs with a kB-sized microcontroller and is struggling to get security features in at all, and the "home router" is typically (still) running from a 4-8MByte flash, which is impossible to even get a Java ME onto, so there

Wow. I think this is quite a big deal, going forward... I've never liked the existing behaviour, and it seems like you have very thoroughly worked around those issues. I really look forward to finding some time to play with your newer version - but I just wanted to personally thank you for the ama
