[iot-discussion] fwiw iot slide-ware fodder

Shane-

Thanks for noticing.

The DNSSEC/IoT security piece is the usual "using DNS+DNSSEC to distribute public keys"/DANE thing to provide some way to bootstrap security in IoT devices (vendors can then go use their own proprietary "lighter weight" mechanisms).  Now I know, having tried writing some validators for ESP8266 etc..., that your low end IoT device doesn't really have a lot of RAM/ROM to deal with RSA DNSSEC validation but I do find many new low-end chipsets to have ECC engines built in.  So there is hope.  But I know you know all that.
Sorry for pushing DNSSEC but it is kinda my thing here.  Cant blame a guy for doing his job - can you?
