As Mat kindly pointed out this is a proposed Research Group, not a Working Group, that has still to be formally created. Though that looks very likely to happen.

Please note that the draft charter for this RG-to-be is much, much wider than IoT. Though IoT security stuff will be one topic that's in scope. The motivation for SMART is to bring cybersecurity research (for some definition of that term) to the IETF so it can inform protocol development in WGs.

Anyone wanting to know more should sign up for the SMART mailing list.

I think there's still time to comment on the draft charter before this gets approved and the RG is created. The first meeting of SMART is likely to be at IETF104.
