An observation from a lurker to this group. If you are looking to connect non ip devices, you also need to consider their memory and cpu constraints. If you are running in a low power device with only 2-4k of ram even building an encrypted packet will blow your available memory. I also suggest that thought is given as to how the identity of such devices can be proxied and this may need to consider guidance or principles for evaluating the risks and threats and how to position this with the overall application. I would like to engage more in this conversation but the Friday afternoon timing of the call is not helpful given my current role. Regards Richard Baker Sent from my iPhone.

Yeah, it is nice, but WSDL would be too big. Remember that sending 1 byte over the radio takes as much power as encrypting 1000 bytes. Also, memory and processing power is becoming cheap, so in IoT context, we should probably treat "minimizing the radio packet" as the priority.
As to the identification of the things are cocerned, the viable model that I imagine is as follows:
The device manufacutrer creates a good keypair and embeds the private key (and its key thumbprint) in the device. For device authentication, use the key to sign the message. Nat

It would be interesting if we could create a standard that would allow even non IP devices to publish their identity through a wsdl type structure. Even if they are non IP at some point in their upwards relationship hierarchy their master gateway would be IP based and could be responsible for publishing the identity wsdls for the entities it brokers. Thoughts ?

I agree with Paul and others regarding discovery as the key initial mechanism. I believe Ingo has also noted this in the summaries from IDoT. Sal mentions NMAP / SNMP are there other exiting approaches? (apologies if this has been discussed in detail already)

In that case there are mechanisms support scanning ( eg NMAP) or SNMP that have been around for a while these are typically not exactly API friendly but do provide a starting point and we make good use in our offerings.

(one of) what is needed is a standardized mechanism for devices to present their identity (and those humans for which they are acting) to other things, cloud endpoints & applications

Is there any industry standard in place or in works which can be used as a common standard across multiple identities. What I mean by this is that humans have SSN as an identity while a thermostat may have serial number while a network device may have a Mac ID as their identity. So, while individually they all have their own identity standard, when in the IoT world, all these entities start interacting with each other, how do we translate one identity into another or how will one identity interact with another identity in a standards way?
