IoT

We introduced LoRa mesh networks at in the GAIA WG meeting at IETF 122. Different to LoRaWAN, LoRa mesh networks are not standardized. The current proprietary solutions and open source solutions are not interoperable. The lack of standardization is a difficulty for a quicker adoption of LoRa mesh network technology.

The Internet-Draft titled "Comparison of CoAP Security Protocols" analyzes and compares the message sizes of key exchange processes and per-packet overheads associated with various security protocols used to secure the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). Minimizing message sizes is crucial in constrained radio networks, such as Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs), to reduce energy consumption, latency, and completion times.

The security protocols evaluated in this document include:

The IETF has published this month a new version of draft about Reliable and Available Wireless Architecture

we propose to raise awareness on the one hand of IoT standardization players on the energy impact in defining standards and on the other hand to developers of IoT stacks and applications. For this, we propose an approach consisting firstly of starting from the existing to highlight the energy impact in the choices of the use of a standard and its implementations and then secondly to identify a set of recommendations.

The IETF 114 is presenting several topics in IoT, such as:

I propose to start discussing cybersecurity standardisation deliverables from the perspective of Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CC v3.1), in particular with respect to the EUCC - the ENISA cybersecurity certification scheme proposed for ICT products, and therefore including IoT, which is currently in preparation.

Problem definition

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an international Standards Developing Organization that work in the development and standardization of Internet protocols. The IETF is open to any interested individual. The next IETF meeting is called IETF 113. The IETF 113 starts Saturday 19 March and runs through Friday afternoon, 25 March.

Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks (roll) working group at the IETF, is the working group in charge of developing routing standards for constrained environments, oriented to use cases such as smart home, smart cities and industry 4.0. The Working Group focus on routing issues in IPv6 for Low power and Lossy networks, maintaining and improving the protocols already developed, including RPL and MPL. The Participation is open to any individual.

At the end of 2020, the M-Sec Project launched a survey to the European and Japanese IoT community, to better understand their experience when using IoT devices and applications and on their knowledge of EU & Japan’s data protection regulations. 6 months after, and with more than 450 answers, here are the first insights from our community: https://www.msecproject.eu/m-sec-eu-japanese-consultation-preliminary-results/

The main focus of M-Sec’s Cookbook is to introduce the M-Sec IoT security framework that has been developed by the European and Japanese consortium researchers for the past two years. Therefore, it presents techniques, methods, and design and operating principles of the M-Sec solution that those researchers believe will help other IoT developers to minimize the risk of suffering critical vulnerabilities in a wide range of IoT devices.

M-Sec is an EU-Japan collaborative Project with the main goal of developing an innovative solution that ensures a more secure data transfer between stakeholders when using IoT devices and applications in hyper-connected smart cities.

In the scope of this research, the project is now conducting an online survey to all EU and Japanese citizens and stakeholders, to collect feedback on individuals use of IoT devices and applications, and their understanding of data protection regulation.

The M-Sec Project, an EU and Japanese collaboration, released a White Paper that acts as a guide to inform readers about the main IoT security issues faced nowadays and proposes concrete solutions to these problems.

I am delighted that Sebastian Hallensleben has taken up the role of Chair of Technical Working Group (TWG) on Trusted Information. In a time when fake news can interfere in the political election process, undermine vaccination programs and cause riots in the streets ( or indeed in government buildings), access to trusted information will become a much sought after commodity.

The National Standards Authority of Ireland are launching an ISO/IEC JTC1 SC41 Internet of Things and Digital Twin mirror committee with significant interest being displayed from Academia, Research Centres, Government Agencies and Industry. More information to follow when the committee has been established.

The present draft document, elaborated by the ETSI TC CYBER, specifies a conformance assessment methodology for consumer IoT devices, their relation to associated services and corresponding relevant processes against ETSI TS 103 645 [1] / ETSI EN 303 645,  Draft ETSI addressing the mandatory and recommended provisions as well as conditions and complements ETSI TS 103 645 / ETSI EN 303 645 by defining test cases and assessment criteria for each provision.
