Abstract

The IETF regularly develops new technologies. Sometimes there are several standards that can be combined to become vastly more than the sum of their parts. Right now, there are six technologies either recently adopted or poised for adoption that create such a cluster. Combining secure onboarding, remote attestation, secure update, software bill-of-materials/expected attestation, automated network policy enforcement, and trusted execution environment provisioning, devices can be defended from many threats. This is an opportunity for an inflection point for more secure and trustworthy devices. Simultaneous adoption of two or more of these six standards could create the foundation of computing devices that are worth trusting.
