Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments
RFC 8613, “Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2019 by G. Selander, J. Mattsson, F. Palombini, L. Seitz. It updates RFC 7252. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
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.
Although an optional functionality of CoAP, OSCORE alters CoAP options processing and IANA registration. Therefore, this document updates RFC 7252.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
