Abstract:

   This document supports the constrained Bootstrapping Remote Secure
   Key Infrastructures (cBRSKI) onboarding protocol by adding a required
   network function, the Join Proxy.  This function can be implemented
   on a constrained node.  The goal of the Join Proxy is to help new
   constrained nodes ("Pledges") securely onboard into a new IP network
   using the cBRSKI protocol.  It acts as a circuit proxy for User
   Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets that carry the onboarding messages.
   The solution is extensible to support other UDP-based onboarding
   protocols as well.  The Join Proxy functionality is designed for use
   in constrained networks, including IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless
   Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) based networks in which the
   onboarding authority server ("Registrar") may be multiple IP hops
   away from a Pledge.  Despite this distance, the Pledge only needs to
   use link-local communication to complete cBRSKI onboarding.  Two
   modes of Join Proxy operation are defined, stateless and stateful, to
   allow different trade-offs regarding resource usage, implementation
   complexity and security.
