In my experience, there is no single mechanism for establishing what is alternatively called 'pairing,' 'introduction,' 'enrollment,' on in the case of the WiFi Protected Setup a 'mental model.' The techniques have been called ceremonies by Carl Ellison and Jesse Walker, and they serve as a

I've been following this thread with interest. Some points (from someone who has a particular 802.15.4-based mesh networking viewpoint): * There probably isn't any need to specify cryptographic security for an IGP on the basis that the packets are link-local and can therefore be

Similarly, a wired broadband or 3G/LTE wireless connection to an ISP router in the neighborhood has its own authentication and policy enforcement happening at L2. I'm curious if we want to assume a particular type of broadband connection is in use, or do we want the Homenet solution to be

Mark, Actually, I suggested that wired wouldn't need any key handshake. Wireless would, and such handshakes require UI. The UI is the problem if there are two devices that are not used to having any serious UI. I'm not sure I know how to solve that, but I'm not sure it's our problem to solve
