This Recommendation targets to develop a converged identification and authentication service to overcome relevant challenges in decentralized IoT identification and authentication management systems, so as to ensure efficient communication among IoT devices and services in decentralized environment. The challenges in decentralized environment are to support effective and efficient interactions (e.g. secured interoperability, scalability, low latency, etc.) among huge number of IoT devices and IoT services, which are using different decentralized IoT identification and authentication systems.
This Recommendation introduces a converged service for identification and authentication for IoT devices in decentralized environment (CSIADE), and provides relevant common characteristics, general requirements, functional architecture, main capabilities and procedures of CSIADE. CSIADE can facilitate IoT devices and IoT services to identify and authenticate each other in IoT decentralized environments when they use same or different types of decentralized IoT identification solutions.
