Abstract:
This document extends the constrained Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key
Infrastructures (cBRSKI) onboarding protocol by adding a new network
function, the constrained Join Proxy. This function can be
implemented on a constrained node. The goal of the Join Proxy is to
help new constrained nodes ("Pledges") securely onboard into a new IP
network using the cBRSKI protocol. It acts as a circuit proxy for
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets that carry the onboarding
messages. The solution is extensible to support other UDP-based
onboarding protocols as well. The Join Proxy functionality is
designed for use in constrained networks, including IPv6 over Low-
Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) based networks in
which the onboarding authority server ("Registrar") may be multiple
IP hops away from a Pledge. Despite this distance, the Pledge only
needs to use link-local communication to complete cBRSKI onboarding.
Two modes of Join Proxy operation are defined, stateless and
stateful, to allow different trade-offs regarding resource usage,
implementation complexity and security.
