One-time Pad for Authorizing Device Identity

Abstract

This document describes how devices joining an autonomic control plane as defined in RFC 8994 may use the BRSKI onboarding mechanism defined in RFC 8995, even if they cannot provide a manufacturer-installed X.509 IDevID certificate. Instead, such devices may generate a self-signed certificate embedding a unique token selected from a one-time pad.
