Note well. Reminder.

• Status of drafts [Pascal] [5min]

  • 6tisch-minimal-21 status, email sent to Tero to confirm that he is happy. No reply yet (Tero AFK).
  • no other hangups in status yet. Expect draft to advance during the meeting.

• Update on security [Michael] [15min]

  • Major change is that there are more documents:
    • created another version of EDHOC-OSCOAP called EALS
    • tries to do secure transport
    • zero touch security within the EDHOC protocol
    • question is how the WG will articulate the JRC centraly driven.
    • Devices do not need to stay awake the whole time. They need to listen for traffic for them.
    • Shared schedule is used for everybody to join (e.g minimal).
    • having indication on how long it should wait the JN.
    • trade-off between energy consumption and energy congestion during the joining phase. This is related on how long a JN has to wait to be authenticated.
    • GOAL: figure out the compromise between energy and congestion.

• Update on 6P [Xavi] [10min]

  • finalize the missing pieces: reordering of the text, remove duplicated text.
  • refine section 4, define first the headers, and then the details.
  • renamed status to count now that we can allocate ny type of cell
  • removed xcell suggestion that was complex
  • structure now ready. plan for last call at the meeting
  • will do a pass and on Monday of the IETF will publish and ask for feed back

• Update on SF0 [Diego] [10min]

• some changes to summarize the changes since last IETF.
• Cell Estimation Algorithm, three alternatives.
• picked alternative 3, most accurate to what people have implemented.
• Xavi: what about churn because the application has a cycle different than the slot frame.
• Xavi: what if 3 time slots needed every 2 slot frames, or if I have bursts, many needed in one slotframe and none at the next. Need mechanism to avoid continuous re-scheduling
• SF0 has a hystersis so that it does not deallocate until the need is below a lower threshold.

• Diego: Added PDR computation. Need to discuss Timeout calculation, requires 6P collaboration.

• Requires 6P collaboration.

• Preparation for IETF 98[Pascal] [QS]

  • security questions:
  • do we need centralized control over enrollment to avoid congestion in the network?
  • can we give a (secured?) hint to nodes waiting to be contacted as to how long to sleep?
  • do we want to use EALS to do vouchers within the key agreement protocol? (round trips vs size of packets)
  • CoMI for management of rekeying
  • Do we need K1 and K2? Or just one key set?
  • open issues with pledge initiated version
  • 6P/SF0 ask for Last call.

• AOB [3min]

  • No OB.
