[iot-wg] To be published: Architectural Considerations for IoT Device Security in the Home

Hi all,

 

I’m not sure if this should be considered in this document or other future ones, or other foras.

 
Should IoT devices be allowed to send information to the cloud “always” or the user must have the choice to disable that? I’ve seen many devices, even CPEs, using OpenWRT or a derivative firmware, sending stuff to the manufacturer, “hijacking DNS”, etc. This may be even a regulatory issue.
 
Should IoT devices have a standard API to be managed? Otherwise, consumers are unprotected and they may need to throw to the trash can hundreds of euros in case of a manufacturer Cloud failure, vendor bankruptcy, vendor failure to provide security updates, etc., etc.
 

In my opinion both are related to device security in the Home. I’m also not saying is in the scope of this WG, as said, it may come to IETF, other standardizations foras, even regulation. It is like when we regulate if a device complies with FCC, CE mark, UL, etc., etc., but in terms of security or consumer protection.

 

One last point. I think it will be very useful to have page numbers in this (and every) document … also in other BCOP documents, we added an annex with terminology.

 

Regards,

Jordi

Hi Töma

And it is phrased slightly awkwardly.  How about this:

"Comparing internet layer and layer four information to known deny-lists ("blocklists")"

and 

"Validating that the internet layer and layer four information matches an associated MUD profile"

?

Since RIPE 81, the "BCOP" document was refined again and now declared DONE under the title: "Architectural Considerations for IoT Device Security in the Home" (document attached).

 

Section 4 sort of implies that there are only two Layer 4 protocols.  It'd be very nice if the final RIPE document doesn't have such implications.
