The rapid advance of the Internet of Things (IoT) has highlighted a need for security provision in devices. This need for IoT device security and the key measures manufacturers can take to meet this need are discussed in the pages that follow. An important means to these ends is the concept of ‘baseline security’. As of this writing, there are two distinct but complementary versions of baseline security: The C2 Consensus on IoT Device Baseline Security1, hosted by the Council to Secure the Digital Economy led by CTA and USTelecom; and the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) development of a Core Baseline Security (draft NISTIR 8259).2 The C2 Consensus was developed by a group of 20 industry associations, coalitions and standards bodies. Draft NISTIR 8259 was developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s NIST team by drawing on the expertise of industry, government and civil society in a multistakeholder process. The two documents have somewhat different perspectives but have a very similar list of baseline device capabilities; the capabilities listed in Section 5 in the C2 Consensus align very well with those in Table 1 in Draft NISTIR 8259. Both documents are effectively white papers, without the full technical definition needed by engineers. But markets are moving along, selling seasons are not waiting, and some leading guidance for manufacturers is appropriate. The information in this document is a preview of more detailed information that will be available in draft CTA2088. The soon-to-be-published CTA-2088 (later, ANSI/CTA-20883) is a technical specification based on the C2 Consensus. CTA-2088 will provide testable requirements that developers can rely on for baseline best practice. CTA-2088, when published (Q1 2020), will be a voluntary consensus technical standard that includes testable “shall” requirements matching the recommendations in the sections that follow here. This preliminary guidance is intended to allow manufacturers an initial look at expectations for the security of connected devices in 2020 and beyond.
