Dynamic security credentials PANA-based provisioning for IoT smart objects

The integration of physical devices into the Internet infrastructure raises significant security concerns, since many of the assumptions of the current Internet cannot be maintained in the so-called IoT. Due to the scale and requirements of these devices, the IoT should provide automated and self-managing mechanisms coping with security requirements during the life-cycle of smart objects, in order to foster the deployment of IoT scenarios. In this direction, this work addresses the bootstrapping of a smart object as a crucial stage in its lifecycle, through the use and extension of PANA as an IoT bootstrapping protocol, to enable a security credentials provisioning phase for secure M2M communications. Additionally, a set of initial evaluation results is also provided as part of our ongoing work in this area.
