For information: ETSI releases IoT security standard
by Marco Hogewoning 17 Oct '19

17 Oct '19

Dear colleagues, The European Telecommunications Standardisation Institute (ETSI), earlier this week released their initial standard for securing IoT devices. The document is titled ‘Technical specification - Cyber Security for Consumer Internet of Things’ (ETSI TS 103 645), and states that its objective is, “...to support all parties involved in the development and manufacturing of consumer IoT with guidance on securing their products.” While it remains a very high-level document, containing many recommendations our community probably takes for granted, it could be helpful in guiding newcomers towards a more secure implementation of their IoT services and devices. The recommendations include items like, for instance, using non-default passwords. Although this is not yet a European Standard (EN) level specification, it is likely that any European standard specification in this area would be developed based on guidance from this document. In this context, a specification like this might also be reflected in product conformity guidelines such as the Radio Equipment Directive, that I posted about last week. The specification is available at https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/103600_103699/103645/01.01.01_60/ts_10… Regards, Marco Hogewoning RIPE NCC

InnoITeam - a new Center of Excellence in IoT Science and Technology
by Artūras Serackis 30 Jun '19

30 Jun '19

Dear Colleagues, We are excited to introduce you a new initiative a Center of Excellence in IoT Science and Technology (InnoITeam). The CoE will leverage the knowledge, experience, and resources of three Lithuanian institutions – Kaunas University of Technology, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University and State Enterprise Centre of Registers of Lithuania - with the support of two advanced EU partners from Sweden – Linköping University and Interactive Institute Swedish ICT in Norrköping. During the first five years, the Consortium will focus on four R&D topics: 1. User interfacing and interaction design approaches for Smart Environments based on IoT. 2. Cybersecurity aspects of the Smart Environments based on IoT. 3. Data analysis and visualization approaches for data-intensive IoT environments. 4. Cognitive IoT technologies for Smart Home Environments. The InnoITeam project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and coordinated by the Kaunas University of Technology. The project has been already started in September (2017) and is finishing its first phase. During the second phase in a five-year period, the InnoITeam is planning to become a self-sustaining organization, integrating and supporting research excellence and innovation development in Lithuania, the Baltic Sea region, and Europe. Meet our team and recent news on our web page: https://www.innoiteam.com Follow us on social media: https://facebook.com/innoiteam https://www.linkedin.com/company/innoiteam/ https://twitter.com/innoiteam

appointing a co-chair
by Jim Reid 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, start your engines! :-) Since the WG now has an appointment process in place, it's time to use it. Anyone interested in volunteering as a co-chair is encouraged to step forward. It would be helpful if potential candidates could post on the list what their vision is for the WG and what they would/wouldn't do if appointed. I would also urge volunteers to consult RIPE692: "RIPE Working Group Chair Job Description and Procedures" to get an appreciation for what this role entails. I'll also be happy to provide advice and guidance to anyone thinking about volunteering, either in private or on the list. The tentative schedule would be to finalise a list of potential candidates by early next year and run the selection process in March or theresabouts so the new co-chair can be in place in good time for RIPE78. Please speak up if you think this schedule is unreasonable or impractical. Although I have no say in who the WG chooses -- I just make the consensus determination -- I would very much like to see someone new in the role. It would be a pity if one of the usual suspects got the job. Not that I have any criticisms of them. A fresh face, new thinking and a break from the same old routine is both healthy and desirable IMO. However that will of course ultimately be a decision for the WG to make. Over to you...

CIRA Labs - Secure Home Gateway (SHG) Project Update
by Jacques Latour 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hi All, Someone told me I'm not communicative enough ;-) Just wanted to give a quick update on the Secure 'IoT' Home Gateway initiative, we made good progress over the course of the last year, you can find project information here. https://github.com/CIRALabs/Secure-IoT-Home-Gateway · https://www.circleid.com/posts/20190305_an_update_from_cira_on_iot_security/ We're starting the 3rd phase of the project April 1st, looking at having fully running code, API definition and internet drafts for the gateway provisioning process, MUD controller and supervisor, IoT onboarding, SIDN SPIN integration, SHG APP and more. All this on top of the Turris Omnia platform. Still have along way to go. We can use some help. For those interested, the Government of Canada and ISOC started a multi-stakeholder process focused on IoT security and made recommendations on network resiliency, on labelling and on consumer education and awareness. There's good stuff we generated: https://iotsecurity2018.ca/ Added a picture to attract your attention :) [cid:image003.png@01D4E496.B21E1410] That's my report :) Someone from the team may be available to present at RIPE 78 Reykjavík in 54 Days 03 Hours 46 Minutes 49 Seconds.
