On: "What about the scenario where one has multiple trust domains (e.g.,
when one procures sensors from 
different vendors)?"

This is the nature of our current project and implementation, using
802.15.4 sans full NWK layer.

Hi Qiu:

Thanks for your draft.

Your draft seems to suggest a single trust domain, where each node 
shares a secret key with the base station. What about the scenario where

one has multiple trust domains (e.g., when one procures sensors from 
different vendors)? Doesn't the security fall apart if a router gets 
compromised? What prevents an adversary from replaying past (sensor 
node, request) pairs and triggering traffic flows and key updates with 
routers this way?

Do you have a paper that provides a more formal analysis of the security

properties provided by the protocol you suggest?

Best regards, Rene
