This document specifies algorithm profiles for SUIT manifest parsers and authors to ensure better interoperability. These profiles apply specifically to a constrained node software update use case.¶
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.¶
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.¶
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."¶

Mandatory algorithms may change over time due to an evolving threat landscape. Algorithms are grouped into algorithm profiles to account for this. Profiles may be deprecated over time. SUIT will define four choices of MTI profile specifically for constrained node software update. These profiles are:¶
At least one MTI algorithm in each category MUST be FIPS qualified.¶
Because SUIT presents an asymmetric communication profile, with powerful/complex manifest authors and constrined manifest recipients, the requirements for Recipients and Authors are different.¶
Recipients MAY choose which MTI profile they wish to implement. It is RECOMMENDED thaty they implement the "Future" Asymmetric MTI profile. Recipients MAY implement any number of other profiles.¶
Authors MUST implement all MTI profiles. Authors MAY implement any number of other profiles.¶
Other use-cases of SUIT MAY define their own MTI algorithms.¶
The algorithms that form a part of the profiles defined in this document are grouped into:¶
Authentication Algorithms are divided into three categories:¶
Key Exchange Algorithms are divided into two three groups: Symmetric, Classical Asymmetric, and Post-Quantum Asymmetric¶
Recognized profiles are defined below.¶
This profile requires the following algorithms:¶
