SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: In March of 2015 the
National Telecommunications and
Information Administration issued a
Request for Comment to ‘‘identify
substantive cybersecurity issues that
affect the digital ecosystem and digital
economic growth where broad
consensus, coordinated action, and the
development of best practices could
substantially improve security for
organizations and consumers.’’ 1 We
received comments from a range of
stakeholders, including trade
associations, large companies,
cybersecurity startups, civil society
organizations and independent
computer security experts.2 The
comments recommended a diverse set of
issues that might be addressed through
the multistakeholder process, including
cybersecurity policy and practice in the
emerging area of Internet of Things
(IoT).
In a separate but related matter in
April 2016, NTIA, the Department’s
Internet Policy Task Force, and its
Digital Economy Leadership Team
sought comments on the benefits,
challenges, and potential roles for the
government in fostering the
advancement of the Internet of
Things.’’ 3 Over 130 stakeholders
responded with comments addressing
many substantive issues and

opportunities related to IoT.4 Security
was one of the most common topics
raised.
Many commenters emphasized the
need for a secure lifecycle approach to
IoT devices that considers the
development, maintenance, and end-oflife phases and decisions for a device.
On August 2, 2016, after reviewing these
comments, NTIA announced that the
next multistakeholder process on
cybersecurity would be on IoT security
upgradability and patching.5
The matter of patching vulnerable
systems is now an accepted part of
cybersecurity.6 Unaddressed technical
flaws in systems leave the users of
software and systems at risk. The nature
of these risks varies, and mitigating
these risks requires various efforts from
the developers and owners of these
systems. One of the more common
means of mitigation is for the developer
or other maintaining party to issue a
security patch to address the
vulnerability. Patching has become
more commonly accepted, even for
consumers, as more operating systems
and applications shift to visible
reminders and automated updates. Yet
as one security expert notes, this
evolution of the software industry has
yet to become the dominant model in
IoT.7
To help realize the full innovative
potential of IoT, users need reasonable
assurance that connected devices,
embedded systems, and their
applications will be secure. A key part
of that security is the mitigation of
potential security vulnerabilities in IoT
devices or applications through
patching and security upgrades.
The ultimate objective of the
multistakeholder process is to foster a
market offering more devices and
systems that support security upgrades
through increased consumer awareness
and understanding. Enabling a thriving
market for patchable IoT requires
common definitions so that
manufacturers and solution providers

have shared visions for security, and
consumers know what they are
purchasing. Currently, no such
common, widely accepted definitions
exist, so many manufacturers struggle to
effectively communicate to consumers
the security features of their devices.
This is detrimental to the digital
ecosystem as a whole, as it does not
reward companies that invest in
patching and it prevents consumers
from making informed purchasing
choices.
The immediate goal of this process
will be to develop a broad, shared
definition or set of definitions around
security upgradability for consumer IoT,
as well as strategies for communicating
the security features of IoT devices to
consumers. One initial step will be to
explore and map out the many
dimensions of security upgradability
and patching for the relevant systems
and applications. A goal will be to
design and explore definitions that are
easily understandable, while being
backed by technical specifications and
organizational practices and processes.
A final step will be to develop a strategy
to share these definitions throughout the
broader development community, and
ultimately with consumers. This may
include raising awareness in the
consumer space to help consumers
understand security options and drive
market forces.
Stakeholders will determine the shape
of the conversation and the process.
NTIA has announced that the scope of
the discussion will be around consumer
devices, but stakeholders will ultimately
determine which technologies, sectors,
and applications will be discussed in
the process, and covered by the
resulting definitions and framework.
While we anticipate a technical
discussion in the process of exploring
security upgrades, NTIA does not expect
this discussion to develop new
technical standards. This
multistakeholder process is not a formal
standards development process.
Stakeholders may wish to use existing
standards in their discussion and
definitions, or may wish to call for new
standards or standards processes as part
of their recommendations.
Stakeholders will determine the exact
nature of the outcome of this process.
Because it is unlikely that a one-sizefits-all solution will be feasible in this
dynamic space, stakeholders will need
to determine how to scope and organize
the work through sub-groups or other
means. Success of the process will be
evaluated by the extent to which
stakeholders embrace and implement
the consensus findings within their
individual practices or organizations,

PO 00000

and work to promulgate them
throughout the community. Although
the stakeholders determine the outcome
of the process, it is important to note
that the process will not result in a new
law or regulation.
Matters to Be Considered: The
October 19, 2016, meeting will be the
first in a series of NTIA-convened
multistakeholder discussions
concerning IoT security upgradability
and patching. Subsequent meetings will
follow on a schedule determined by
those participating in the first meeting.
Stakeholders will engage in an open,
transparent, consensus-driven process
to understand the range of issues in
security upgradability, and develop a set
of definitions useful to both industry
and consumers. The multistakeholder
process will involve hearing and
understanding the perspectives of
diverse stakeholders, including a range
of IoT manufacturers, solution
providers, security experts, and
consumer advocates.
The October 19, 2016, meeting is
intended to bring stakeholders together
to share the range of views on security
upgradability and patching, and to
establish more concrete goals and
structure of the process. The objectives
of this first meeting are to: (1) Briefly
review the importance of patching and
the challenges in the existing ecosystem;
(2) briefly share different perspectives
on existing technologies and practices;
(3) engage stakeholders in a discussion
of key security upgrade dimensions,
features, and concerns; (4) engage
stakeholders in a discussion of logistical
issues, including internal structures
such as a small drafting committee or
various working groups, and the
location and frequency of future
meetings; and (5) identify concrete goals
and stakeholder work following the first
meeting.
The main objective of further
meetings will be to encourage and
facilitate continued discussion among
stakeholders to build out a mapping of
the range of issues, and develop a
consensus view of a consolidated set of
potential definitions. Discussions will
also cover best practices for sharing
security information with consumers.
This discussion may include circulation
of stakeholder-developed strawman
drafts and discussion of the appropriate
scope of the initiative. Stakeholders may
also agree on procedural work plans for
the group, including additional
meetings or modified logistics for future
meetings. NTIA suggests that
stakeholders consider setting clear
deadlines for a working draft and a
phase for external review of this draft,
