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.
