Technical Summary
This document defines Object Security for Constrained RESTful
Environments (OSCORE), a method for application-layer protection of
the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), using CBOR Object
Signing and Encryption (COSE). OSCORE provides end-to-end protection
between endpoints communicating using CoAP or CoAP-mappable HTTP.
OSCORE is designed for constrained nodes and networks supporting a
range of proxy operations, including translation between different
transport protocols.
Working Group Summary
The document has gone through multiple expert reviews and has been discussed
in multiple IETF meetings. Before the last IETF the WGLC was completed.
Document Quality
There are 4 existing implementations of the protocol and one more is being worked on.
