Abstract: The goal of the Internet Engineering Task Force’s Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) specification is for Internet of Things (IoT) devices to behave as the devices’ manufacturers intended. MUD provides a standard way for manufacturers to indicate the network communications that a device requires t...
The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence has published a final Project Description on "Trusted IoT Device Network-Layer Onboarding and Lifecycle Management. This project will result in a NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide.
Abstract: Network-layer onboarding of an Internet of Things (IoT) device is the provisioning of network credentials to that device. The current lack of trusted IoT device onboarding processes leaves many networks vulnerable to having unauthorized devices connect to them. It also leaves devices vulnerable to b...
