1 Security Working Group Overview Open House June 3, 2003 Ed Callaway 03214r0ZB

2 Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. Organization Chair: Larry Puhl Secretary: Tom Kevenaar Technical Editor: Rene Struik Security Group Member Companies: Honeywell Invensys Mitsubishi Motorola NTRU NTS Philips Zensys Atmel Bosch Certicom Danfoss Ember Figure 8 Wireless France Telecom Helicomm

3 Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. Scope and Charter To build a security architecture and Security Toolbox document which provides cryptographic tools and interfaces from which profiles may select security services to enable an adequately secure communications link To provide a Test Plan to allow for conformance testing of the tools and interfaces To assist profile developers in selecting the most appropriate tools and interfaces for their applications

4 Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. ZigBee and Security ZigBee is working to develop standard solutions for a range of products with diverse security needs Cost, performance, complexity, flexibility, and ease- of-use are all factors to consider when choosing a security solution The security working group is developing a “Security Toolbox” that includes services to meet the needs of top-priority profiles Long-term goal: ZigBee Security Toolbox, complete with interoperability specifications and test plan to allow an application to get what it needs

5 Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. What’s in 802.15.4? IEEE 802.15.4 contains a good crypto algorithm It’s called AES and it’s a “symmetric cipher” –Sender and receiver encrypt and decrypt with the same key IEEE 802.15.4 supplies three services: –Protects privacy of data to be transmitted (encryption) –Prevents impersonation of legitimate devices (sender authentication) –Prevents modification of transmitted messages (message integrity)

6 Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. What’s in ZigBee? The ZigBee Security Toolbox builds basic services onto the IEEE 802.15.4 standard: key establishment key transport data protection authentication These basic services can be used to build secure network and application (i.e., end-to-end) communication links The application profile determines which basic services are needed for each application

7 Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. Goals for this Meeting Joint discussions with other groups Discuss the basic services to be included in the Security Toolbox document Review the public-key proposal and discuss any improvements Vote to confirm the public-key proposal, select a new chair, and confirm the content of the Security Toolbox document Other topics: orphaning, backup, mobility, testing, potential attacks
