Extended Definition of the Proposed Open Standard for IoT Device IdentificAtion and RecoGnition (IoTAG)
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices are critical to operate and maintain, because of their number and high connectivity. A lot of security issues concern IoT devices and the networks they are integrated. To help getting an overview of an IoT network, the devices and the security, we propose a scoring system to get a good impression of IT security. This system generates single scores for each device, using features like encryption, update behavior, etc. Furthermore, a summarized score for the whole network is calculated, to show the status of the network security in an easy way for the administrator. To enable the scoring system, a precise list of the existing devices and their operating status is necessary. To achieve this, we present an open standard for the IoT Device IdentificAtion and RecoGnition (short IoTAG), which requires that devices report, e.g., their name, an unique ID, the firmware version and the supported encryption. The proposed standard is described in detail and an implementation guideline is given in this paper. Additionally, information about how to realize the serialization, the integrity and the communication with IoTAG.
