Standardization work at IETF

What is the IETF?

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) , founded in 1986, is the premier standards development organization (SDO) for the Internet. The IETF makes voluntary standards that are often adopted by Internet users, network operators, and equipment vendors, and it thus helps shape the trajectory of the development of the Internet. The goal is to make the network better.

Key concepts

  • Internet-Drafts (I-Ds): work-in-progress documents discussed in Working Groups (WGs)
  • RFCs: archival publications that define Internet standards and best practices
  • Datatracker: the official index of drafts, WGs, and document history

My Internet-Draft at IETF

Title: Remote Attestation over EDHOC (LAKE WG)

Datatracker link: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lake-ra/

Abstract

This document specifies how to perform remote attestation as part of the lightweight authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol EDHOC (Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE), based on the Remote ATtestation procedureS (RATS) architecture.

Milestone

The Internet-Draft was adopted by the IETF LAKE working group at the beginning of 2025, which indicates that the Internet-Draft transitioned from a individual submission to an officially adopted working group document.
