Abstract:
This document supports the constrained Bootstrapping Remote Secure
Key Infrastructures (cBRSKI) onboarding protocol by adding a required
network function, the 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.
