Subject: [6gip] 6G and IoT authentication

Dear all,

some time ago we had discussed on issues with authentication of IoT devices in future heterogeneous access networks as part of the need for new authentication models in 6G.

It seems now is the time  to elaborate on this topic in more detail.
Since it is only marginally related to 6G we would like to propose to continue the discussions on a different list, i.e., pidloc ([email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>).

So we invite you to join the existing Pidloc ML for discussing the idea.
If you are not already a list member, please subscribe on this link:
https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pidloc

The list communication should be around the following ideas:

- to establish a hardware-based IoT authentication in relationship with Wireless Local Area network collaborative and/or multi-band sensing (e.g., Wi-Fi Sensing as proposed by 802.11bf or other ways of sensor detection).
- IP issues with an IoT device authentication in a human-independent manner unlike the state of the art model which is based on humans using the machine

We will provide more details soon on pidloc.
Please join pidloc as soon as possible.

Best Regards
Behcet and Dirk
