5. Security Considerations

This document introduces common terminology that does not raise any new security issues. Security considerations arising from the constraints discussed in this document need to be discussed in the context of specific protocols. For instance, Section 11.6 of [COAP], "Constrained node considerations", discusses implications of specific constraints on the security mechanisms employed. [ROLL-SEC-THREATS] provides a security threat analysis for the RPL routing protocol. Implementation considerations for security protocols on constrained nodes are discussed in [IKEV2-MINIMAL] and [TLS-MINIMAL]. A wider view of security in constrained-node networks is provided in [IOT-SECURITY].
